[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the fact that you assume intimidated rather than confused is a big clue as to why you're not getting hired. [/quote] Many of us with advanced degrees tend to retreat into the belief that we are overqualified when in fact we are unqualified for the jobs we are trying to get. i would try to put the degrees out of your mind and look really closely at the specific skills you have developed while working and your work accomplishments and try to match those up with position requirements.[/quote] +1 [b]OP you are unqualified beyond your clinical experience.[/b] Which means you need to network and realize the company would be taking a risk on you. I know too many people with MBAs that don't understand the basics of business for example.[/quote] You don't know this. You don't know what jobs OP is applying for. You are making assumptions.
