Sir, if you are running a hospital wouldn't you prefer to hire an overqualified doctor who can quickly and correctly diagnose the patients and provide the appropriate medication. I am sure you won't prefer doctors who prescribe medication without proper diagnosis. But that is what can happen if you hire inexperienced doctors.
Yes, I am overqualified but I can list at least 6 profitable benefits, that can rid your organisation of some business ailments. That's the advantage of hiring an overqualified person like me.

Overqualified? Some would say that I'm not overqualified but fully qualified. With due respect, could you explain the problem with someone doing the job better than expected?
I'm here because this is a company on the move and I want to move up with you. With more than the minimal experience to just skim by, I offer immediate returns on your investment. Don't you want a winner with the skill sets and attitudes to do just that?

Mam/Sir, I don't think so there is any job that is low for saying a person is overqualified for it because even after being qualified there will be so many things to learn and apply, until a person does it on his own he won't be knowing completely, so a person can't be said as an overqualified person, I believe I'm not overqualified nor unqualified for this work but I have ability to learn and cope up eventually.

According to me, what matters most is whether I'm doing the job assigned to me completely or not. No matters whatever my qualification is I should give my 100% for the fulfillment of the job's purpose and if you really consider me as an overqualified for the said position I think that's a good way of motivating a fresher like me to reach up to your expectation.
Thank you!
Thank you!

No sir.
In my opinion, how anyone can be overqualified for one job if he/she didn't have any practical experience in that field. And me being as a fresher I only have theoretical knowledge and a lot to learn by applying it practically.
And in my views, even if we have some experience in that field there's always something new to learn from a new job or a new company.

Normally What our qualification shows that we are educated and can apply for the same i.e. we are eligible or not?
So with this knowledge, if I got the opportunity to work with your company giving better results then that qualification means a lot to me. At that time I will never see how qualified I am? I wl only see that because of my knowledge I am at this point.

I don't think I am overqualified, I am just well qualified in this position. This will be my positive point because I will use my knowledge and experience I have gained from my qualification to perform better in the current job. I believe that every task teaches a new lesson to someone. I am sure that if you offered this job it would further improve my skills.

If you think that I am over qualified then it's a compliment for me. Thank you.
In my opinion, it's better to be overqualified instead of underqualified.
Just imagine I have 100 Rs and you are asking for 80. I can easily give you but if you will ask me 80 Rs and I have only 70 Rs then how will I give you?
So I think I am happy with my overqualification.

Qualification that you see is mere numbers on the mark-sheets, and as our education system would have it, it fails to quantify our skill. If Qualification is all that you see, I can assure you a robot can do your job and you won't need humans. As per my limited knowledge, my skills are at your disposal which can give you a satisfactory performance.

No sir, I don't think I'm overqualified. I have only theoretical knowledge from my bachelor's degree, even though I have done a few projects in various phases of engineering, that won't match the level of practical experience required in Industries. So, I just believe that I'm qualified with enough knowledge in my field of education.
