[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] they chose someone else, generally younger, cheaper, no doubt[/quote] From what it sounds like, you might add "less threatening" to your list. That may be part of what is going on here. [/quote] OP here again (just reading through the responses -- thanks to everyone!) This is something DH is wondering about. But what can he do about it? He can't dumb down? (Edit his resume? Pretend he doesn't know things he does know?) As he's been rehashing the many interviews he had for the most recent rejection, he was realizing that because of his qualifications, DH's responsibilities would have been almost identical to those of the person doing the hiring, who has no experience doing the type of work the job requires, but oversees the department (for some reason). It's a conundrum: If DH presents himself as totally qualified for the job, he disqualifies himself because he's intimidating!! [/quote]
