Yes being overqualified is a thing. Target and Walmart are not going to hire someone with a degree and two medical certificates, because you are going to leave the second you get an offer in your industry. If you are applying for minimum wage jobs you should be leaving those qualifications off of your resume

i have a degree , two medical certifications and like four years of retail experience and one year worth of internships and no one is interested or hiring. i’d move cities if i wasn’t broke as fuck

i am! i’m not applying for minimum wage jobs. mostly administrative positions or front desk work, which my degree applies to also. i’m also talking about getting jobs in my own field. if i’m not overqualified then to my field of knowledge i am considered under qualified. i’m just saying that i think it’s kind of silly. i know how applying to jobs works. i just stated that i had four years of retail experience (which includes customer service by proxy) and also an internship. not new to this
