I had almost the same situation. I could do the work with flying colors but they said my long term goals didnt match with theirs. I decided to do next is to "customize" my resume so that my experience matches what the job description asks for and not exceeding it. Employers want you to have enough ambition to do their job role but dont want you to have enough ambition togo elsewhere.
It may take a little work making separate resumes but you will have different levels of experience you state on your resume that makes them think you wont go anywhere else
Pro
Exactly. You have to show just enough ambition for their role. Tailoring resumes is extra work, but it really helps them see you as a fit instead of someone who’ll move on.
I mean, it's the holiday season. Many places need people NOW and will let them go when business slows down, so I have no idea why they would be offended by you matching that energy. Just keep applying, I'm sure you'll find somewhere that needs people enough to not care that you will leave eventually.
Pro
Exactly! It’s the holiday rush, everyone needs help right now. I’m just matching the same energy. I’m staying consistent with applications, so hopefully the right place comes along soon.
From an employer's perspective, that totally makes sense. All you can do is try to downplay your experience, which is not always easy to do. And you can explain that for whatever reason you're really interested in the job. You can say you want to work for that particular company, for instance. That may work, but if you're overqualified it's almost always a huge obstacle.
Pro
Being overqualified can be tough to work around. All we can do is be honest about why we want the role and hope they see genuine interest.
When in that situation, I have made the argument that I already know a lot, so training will be minimal. Also ask about their turnover. I'd say something like "Yes, I am looking for a career, but my resume shows that I don't burn bridges, so you know I will give you plenty of notice. How many of your new hires quit in the first week/month, without notice?" (And, yes, I have to disclose, this has not worked for me, but I would hire an employee like this in a second)
I look at it as "insanity is doing the same thing over and over, yet expecting different results". If you have a turnover problem, why not try something different? But if they were self-aware enough to know they had a retention issue, they'd have likely already addressed it.
