Our presenter is Abby Kohut, who is known on the web as Absolutely Abby, and is the President of Staffing Symphony, LLC.

"Success for the Seasoned Search: The Benefit of Being Overqualified" Many seasoned job seekers find themselves being called overqualified because they have more years of experience than the job description calls for. Learn powerful strategies to overcome your interviewer's misconceptions about you. It's impossible to BE overqualified unless YOU believe you ARE overqualified. In this seminar, you will learn 1) How to answer the overqualified question 2) Why recruiters AND hiring managers are concerned about hiring overqualified applicants 3) How to change your cover letter and resume if you believe you are overqualified 4) Seven ways to explain on an interview why being overqualified is an advantage.
