Job-Hunting reach-out to VC from previous fundraising effort for own startup
I have e-mail archive from 1y ago of my reach-out to 65 VCs in London: we had video calls, they might remember me still, who knows.
I want to send a reply/forward message to the same e-mail thread from abc@gmail.com, saying that I am looking for roles within their VC firm. Is that a good idea?
Or shall I just start new email thread and mention how I know them?

It might appear that way based on past experiences, but this opportunity excites me.
Yes looking at the number of years I have worked in the mining industry,the skill and the experience I have gained in operating wheel Loader for 9 years I can be over qualified.
When preparing for every interview I write a little career story for myself that has the company and the role as a main character. Sometimes it's fiction and sometimes there are elements of non-fiction, you know? So you're looking to gain x skill for y reason, and this job description appealed to you because of its emphasis on that skill. At this point in your life you are looking for a z company that does blah blah blah just like Thiscompany. The story is multi-purpose, and I can tell it a bit differently in response to any flavour of 'why would you want this job'.
I would avoid saying that you're looking for something less stressful. That sounds like you're hoping to coast and not put forth much effort. I'd keep it focused on why the job or the company are attractive to the personal/career growth you envision for yourself.
I really love that idea omg thank you
I see my experience as an asset here. I’m looking for a role where I can make an impact quickly, mentor others, and continue growing in a collaborative environment. This position aligns with my strengths and career goals, and I’m committed to bringing that expertise to your team.
I had a manager adk me wouldn't you be bored with this position? Well I know I'm not going to be where I was at 24 years?
This would be my same concern if I were hiring for a junior role and got a senior candidate.
This has been my experience with that question, and I have had it many times in my job searches.
I usually give one of three answers:
"Well this is an industry im very interested in, and thought I should start at the entry level position and work my way up."
"This is a company I have always admired for its (insert reasons here), and when this position popped up, I immediately knew I could excel and become a great asset to the team with the company i have always wanted to work for."
"With already having the skills, I can do the job with ease, quickly and efficiently. This can easily have me be able to tackle any extra tasks that I could take off of your plate."
All 3 answers I get just an "OK."
Every time I got that question in an interview, I have never gotten the job. They usually have already made up their mind by the time that question is asked.
For me it depends, if it's a job that I personally enjoyed doing in the past then I'd dig into that and express how much you enjoyed the work. If it's a job just to get a job then maybe start talking about what you hope to gain in that position. If it's to get your foot into a specific company then move up, then you may say something like: "I am hoping to become an employee within 'this company' and I wanted to try building my way up from 'here' to be better informed about the different roles of the positions within so I could get a better idea of where I'd like to be in the future."
I see that as letting the employer know 1) that you are actually interested with staying in that company, 2) that you do have some kind of career goals. 3) that you do intend to LEARN something from the position.
I personally went from a job where I was able to do little to nothing most of the night to a position that has me doing more work for the same amount of pay. I know for most that sounds crazy and dumb, but personally I am not the kind of person that likes getting a paycheck just for sitting in a chair. I like to keep busy and love learning new things for different jobs. All my references and especially past managers would tell anyone that. So in a way, I did do something like this. I explained to my current employer, "I took that job to see if it would be something I was interested in doing as a career. I learned quite a bit from that job, but I personally don't think I would have it for my perminate career choice. I had a similar job to the position I am applying for now, and held it for 'X amount of years' because I personally enjoyed the work I was doing."
Putting personality into an interview isn't necessarily a bad thing. It just depends on how you use say something and the EXACT words you use. You don't want those words biting you in the tail later on during that interview.
I HAVE SAID,....I love the job,that's why people need and want over qualified so they know they are getting the best service this side of the mason dixon.I worked for that company for 27 years.till I got cancer and then they sued me
OMG 😲
I am so sorry you had to deal with their shit on top of cancer 🤗
I was laid off recently and was interviewing for a SM role, with 2 decades of DM roles on my resume. The interviewer brought it up in a rather snide way. I wish interviewers would keep their value judgements to themselves and focus on the job description, and whether you can do the role. I did tell them "each position and organization is different, and I look forward to proving that I deserve this role, with the benefit to the company being that I can step up if the opportunity for promotions present themselves in the future. I am not expecting or relying on that promotion however. My focus will be on getting this store and it's team to perform above standards".
I was once asked this question VERY early in my career. I was very clear: Perhaps I am overqualified, but I was excited about and passionate for the role I was applying for and I felt it was the best place for me to continue to grow and learn.

Hi! This isn't the right thread, nor the right bowl to request work. Try to look for a healthcare one.
"I'm at a point in my career where I'm looking to specialize and go deeper into a specific area, and this role offers exactly that. I’m excited about this opportunity because..."
Note: It's a good sign they're asking, still. They'd like to have you, but want to ensure that you won't drop the job in six months because you can fast-track to another role, dislike the pay grade, won't learn anything useful, etc.
I got this feedback in my current company when I first applied, and I was at the recruiter stage (it reflects bad, though on their side if you get this feedback wit the hiring manager). We agreed I was passionate about the company and too senior. I leveraged that to get a callback n months after for the senior role, same function, and got it!
At present I am in search of a new opportunity. This seems like a great place to join and contribute to your companies goals.
I heard this many times since April of 2025. When you interview, answer directly and simply and use positive words as your tools to land a job.
It's got great benefits and I would be a good candidate for the job. I make myself a little speech before I to the interview and practice it before I went in. Ask myself questions about the the job that I'm applying for as what matters most when it comes to job related concerns.
Absolutely loved this response!!! The funny thing is sometimes people don’t realize things happen in life and you have to downsize, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t do the job and actually they would or should welcome the opportunity to have someone on board then overqualified because they know that you’re gonna be able to do the job and put an extra effort and energy and getting things done While putting yourself in position for a growth opportunity with the organization.
My qualifications may support our customers in feeling like we sent our best and most knowledgeable individual to assist and increase our business, and potentially move up the ladder in the decision making process.
i do not see overqualified i see years of experience that can help others
When someone says a candidate is overqualified, it often says more about the person hiring than the person applying. In many cases, what they really mean is: ‘I feel uncomfortable managing someone with more experience than me.’
Ironically, it’s usually not about the candidate being too skilled — it’s about the hiring manager being unsure how to lead, motivate, or retain someone with that level of experience. I’ve seen this pattern often, especially in large organizations where management roles are filled by tenure or politics, not necessarily leadership ability.
A confident and capable leader would see overqualification as an opportunity — not a threat.
