@mrdragon I've heard "overqualified" way more times than I can count, too. It makes me want to scream, "Well, then, be glad you're getting me at this bargain price!" I mean, really! If I can get something better, for the same price everyone else is paying for a lower-featured model, I'm going to get the better-for-the-same-price one, not the not-as-good one because, well, the better one is overqualified. :p Having been involved in the hiring process on both sides of the table, I just don't get HR departments sometimes. (And, by the way, the best advice I can offer from this is to tailor your CV to the position, and the qualities/skills requested. Don't go overboard listing skills unrelated to the position.) Well, very glad to hear that you have an appointment scheduled to look at your neck and shoulders, and hope things don't get too bad between now and then. And I'm glad that you have some good support there from your sweetie. That can make all the difference in the world. :)
