Are you seeing a large pool of overqualified candidates apply for your open roles? I'm seeing many candidates with MBAs apply for a near entry-level role. It's really sad how tough the job market is right now.

Not a large pool of overqualified candidates. They do make up a part of it, though. Upsets the balance for sure and makes it harder for everyone.

its tough out there :(

Yeah the amount of Master's and PhDs I'm seeing apply to low-level industry jobs is actually very surprising. It's bumming me out because I know these people are smarter than their competition but they lack experience and practical skills.

that's a good POV too
