How can I show recruiters I'm serious about my interest in entry-level positions without coming across as overqualified or burned out from my previous role? I'm being told I'm too experienced. Thoughts?

I’m also in an AR focused entry-level role and have been trying to transition out for the same reasons as you.

I’ve just been telling recruiters that “While I learned a ton and gained a lot of valuable experience, I’ve come to find the my current role doesn’t necessarily align with my long term career goals. I believe that a lateral move into (X role) at (X company) better fits my long term vision for X reasons”

Basically something like that. Lateral moves are totally ok and it’s ok to be a little overqualified

From my perspective as a manager, I’d rather hire someone experienced who is clear about why they want the role than someone less experienced who isn’t sure. Just be upfront about what you’re looking for now and why this role fits.

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation
