Watch Live: The Overqualified Challenge

Inflation, AI gains and a contracting economy have many employers chasing their margins by ignoring, rejecting or laying off “overqualified” PhD-level talent, especially those over 40 years old. Employers are hiring cheaper, less educated labor who will work longer hours with no pushback.

As a result, many of the most experienced and most educated workers in society are being forced into contract work, fractional work, consulting or entrepreneurship. These options are okay for some but often require working much harder, with no benefits and a very high level of unpredictability.

By focusing on communicating your value to employers in way that they can understand and learning the most modern job search techniques available, you can remove the “overqualified” label and get hired into your ideal industry job.
