Are You Tired of Over Qualified Employment Responses?

Now, if you've been recently job seeking I'm sure you've gotten one of these letters. The letter may have came direct mail, email or from place of employment. The letter says something similar to"Thank you for your interest. However, I believe you are over qualified for this position."

What? Did they really send me this letter is the first thing that comes to mind for me? Although, I must say this experience for me is a good example of an under qualified person in a qualified persons position. I don't mean to vent but enough is enough and the response email i sent back professionally screamed it.

I am so fed up with letters like this , i understand a person with skills seeking higher pay could be insulted by some of the pay companies are now posting. I saw an ad that asked basically for a super woman administration assistant for a measly pay of $7.00 hour. Yes, you heard me $7.00 hour for a super woman administrative worker. Unfortunately, you have to read between the ads to realize they really want a sucker to come into the office and do 5 jobs for minimum wage. Although, if you have the experience and wish to work your way up from the bottom of the pay scale the email or letter you'll get back will probably say sorry your overqualified.

Seriously, if you were someone that just needed to provide rent and food for your kids, whom didn't mind low pay. You could really be hungry and homeless because of someone who assumes they know all.

I would like to personally say "if you're a hiring employer take the time to see if a person is really interested before you throw in the towel." This decision could not only gain the employer a educated employee at a lower rate, but could also help a family in need.

How to Obtain Healthcare Benefits while Unemployed

The heat is on your unemployed at no fault of your own. You've just received that cobra benefit form in the mail. Yea, right unless your dying or rich who is going to pay those high deductibles. I don't know about you, but I certainly will not. The sad thing is companies know this that's what they bank on. When I think of Cobra, I think those selfish sarcastic smurfs. Here you are jobless and filled with blue sorrow only to be hit with more jokes. I have two words that come to mind when i think of Cobra Insurance"Not Funny". Here are a few ideas of what you can do to seek healthcare benefits that may be a little more affordable.

Contact your local clinics and hospitals to see, what programs are available. Some hospital and clinics have reduced prices and clinics have reduced prices. They may require proof of income at the time of appointment. After researching i found out there is one called sliding scale in my area of nc. The approved hospital visits are $50.00 copays & no copays at approved hospitals and clinic visits. Also, there may be a small copay on the pharmacy medications, this can be as little as $3 or $10, which is nothing compared to a $150 prescription.

There are also healthcare prescription discount plans. These plans provide a discount up to 40% off for a low monthly fee. Although, this sounds good you must ask up front of restrictions. If your someone who has a monthly prescription of $300 and only get 10% off with plan this may not be for you. Although, if you rarely have prescriptions this may be a good alternative to no insurance at all. Therefore paying a low monthly fee for limited insurance may be benefical.
