AtricleZine - Are You Overqualified for Your Job?
Before we begin a thorough discussion of business pain, let's take a look at what it really means. The words Business Pain are batted around by almost everyone I talk to in the marketing and sales fields. It is probably one of the more misused words when describing the help a company needs to become more efficient and effective. When you try to find out what a business worries about, you will find that you get a different answer from each person you talk to in the organization. That is because the "business pain" will be different for each department or section. The sales force will likely tell you that the pain is not getting orders out o
4. Don’t be afraid to start afresh or do something totally different.
It is sometimes easier to get a clear perspective of what you really want to do when life is not going as smoothly as you expect. Take time to search your soul and take an inventory of what matters most in your life. If you feel that you may have a better chance in another professional field, don’t be afraid to start anew. New beginnings can be a welcome relief especially if your current skills are standing in the way of better opportunities. Think about using your skills or qualifications to start a business, or do something radically different. It’s never too late to start afresh. You can alw
When you're dealing with the public, you're going to have problems in the form of complaints. It's a fact of life that everybody needs to deal with, not only in the medical billing field but everywhere. But medical billing has its own little quirks that are unlike any other business in the world. We're going to cover some of these quirks in this article. Hopefully, if you are a medical billing representative, you will be prepared to handle some of these unique situations.One of the most common customer complaints that patients will have is when they expect to have a bill that they were given for a medical service paid and it's n
When you are in this situation, there is a constant internal struggle and debate going on in your mind about your presence at that job. You keep asking yourself, “What am I doing here? What am I doing with my life?" You even begin to question who you are and the things you stand for! When others inquire why such a talented and qualified person like yourself would accept a job like that, you justify it by saying, “It’s because of the money”, or that you are still looking for something better or that it’s only a temporary situation.
The reasons why you may be working at a job for which you are overqualified can’t be trivialized. These things happen to people all the time and sometimes you have to do what you have to do to make ends meet. So, how can you cope during this period, when you feel like you have been hit under the belt?
6 coping tips for overqualified you:
1. Talk to your boss.
You may have to schmooze to do this. You have to do what you have to do to get where you want to be. Don’t be shy about telling your boss or any other significant person in your organization about your other professional qualifications and skills. Let them know that you would be interested in applying for other positions within the company, which match your skills better. Ask your boss to let you know about suitable positions that are open. Inquire about how to employees can apply internally for vacant positions within the company. Speak out…Mother Luck may just smile on you!
2. Prepare to mentally re-adjust.
Life is tough as it is and being professionally overqualified means that you have to have the right mental attitude to adjust to your situation.
Mentally re-adjusting involves accepting your position and planning how to deal with it. You have to be prepared to not only deal with being a direct report to a boss who may be less qualified than you but also a leaner paycheck and a bruised ego. If you were once in management, you may have to get used to being managed, micro-managed or being yelled at by a bad boss who is too busy to hear your opinion.
You may also have to trim your resume and down play your qualifications to suit your current job description. The ability to maintain a positive attitude will do so much for you in terms of preserving your sanity. It never hurt anyone to look on the bright side.
3. Find a more suitable job.
One good thing about being overqualified is that there are always other options available. Mount an aggressive job search, research your industry of interest, look at current job listings on the internet or in the classified section of your local newspaper and contact temporary employment agencies and recruiters that hire professionals.
Find out what employers are looking for and what you need to do to get an advantage over the rest of the job seekers in your field. In your spare time, work on learning any new skills you might need for the job you want.
Network with people who can give you leads about job availabilities in the sectors that interest you. Update your resume and keep all your relevant job related documents ready. Don’t give up.

If your choice affects other people, there is a third question you should ask, “Does it work for others?” Through the years people have often made comments such as “My office is a mess, but I can find anything in it!” That may be – but what happens if they can’t come to work? I tell my clients, “If you are working for someone else, that information does not belong to you, it belongs to the client, and your professional responsibility is to organize it so that someone else could find it if you were not there and they needed it.”If you work for yourself, you may think it doesn’t matter.

5. Join a professional association.
Volunteer or seek membership in a professional association that addresses issues in your field of expertise. This will keep you abreast of the latest developments in your field and keep you intellectually challenged.
Making contributions to the association and being actively involved in its activities will give you a chance to indirectly pursue what you are qualified to do. It will also give you a chance to meet and network with stakeholders who may widen your chances of getting hired in your preferred field.
6. Consider it a learning experience.
There are many lessons to learn from being professionally overqualified. Apart from acquiring new job skills, you may discover that you have strengths in other fields which you never knew you had. Sometimes it takes hardship for your best attributes to be revealed. If you just take the time to view things from another perspective, you will be surprised at what’s possible.
