Imagine yourself that a company offered you two positions, a low and a high job position.  Which one are you going to choose? As it was given in this situation, you must be going to choose the high job position title. However, it wasn't a job that you are looking for. What's your call on this matter?

I also think that it is better to have a qualified job. It would not be a good thing if trying a job that can make you incompetent in the long run.

Hello,

It would depend on the job descriptions of both.  It involves knowing who you are, and what you are and are not willing to tolerate.  For instance, if I had a choice between being a police officer and a gardener, and the police officer position paid more than the gardener, I would still accept the position of gardener.  Why?  The gardener position would be less stressful, and I would be much happier than I would be as a police officer.

Does that answer your question? :) I hope it helps!

At some point, you have an idea about this matter. It could be having a job position that does not meet a person's expectations.

It depends on the Job profile, Company profile and Learning Opportunity. If I love the Job description, I will choose the Job. We should learn everything that comes in our way.

It is the best thing to do. To know the job qualifications. Prior to accepting the job, it is also better to know more about the company before signing the contract.

Based on my perspection I'ii take that challenge as long as that jobs still relevant with the job that I looking for. For the example I looking for accounting staff but the company over me a job as supervisor accounting. I believe that in order to become succes person we have to be brave and break out limit. Just take the challenge first and next steps we have to learn and focus in our new job.

In the past I have chosen a job that I was over qualified for because I didn't want a lot of stress. The money was less but I knew I would not have been happy in the higher paid job and I might not have lasted. I still think it was the right decision.

Make it tailored: As with any job application, if you're overqualified, you should make sure your resume focuses on how your experience matches the job you want. ... Include qualifications that are the strongest match to the job, and consider what you might leave off your resume in order for it to be a better match.

I will go on the low job and work to gain skills to level me up to the higher position. Sometimes the position is just being given to test your competency. I will rather take the low one and be uplifted through my hardwork, skills and commitment.

I would prefer to choose the qualified position because it is my field to do so. Besides the point, it is best to be comfortable and happy working in a company than the position title for me.

No, i would work where i know am qualified enough to, but if you find yourself in a situation where there is no job in the society, people go for it, knowing they are overqualified.

It will be best to start in the low position as long as you like and love the job you are doing. If you think you are fit physically and your qualifications are really good maybe you can apply for another second job that will sustain your financial needs and if you have the option with good benefits too on either or both jobs you will get the better. It is hard to work in a high job position but your spirit is not there and your heart doesn't agree with it. You will only feel that something in you is not right for having a job that you don’t have passion for.

The decision to accept a position that you are overqualified for is a personal one and depends on individual circumstances. Some people may choose to accept a lower position if they are looking for a change of pace, more work-life balance, or if they see potential for growth and advancement within the company. Others may prefer to hold out for a higher position that better aligns with their skills and experience.

It is important to carefully consider the long-term implications of accepting a lower position, including the potential for feeling underutilized or undervalued, as well as the impact on future career prospects. Ultimately, the decision to accept a job should be based on a careful evaluation of the role, the company culture, and your personal goals and values.

some people might choose to accept a position they are overqualified for because they need the job or the company might offer other opportunities for career growth. Others might decline the job because they feel they are not being utilized to their full potential and might feel unchallenged or unfulfilled in their role. Ultimately, the decision would depend on the individual's personal and professional goals, financial needs, and overall job satisfaction.

You would be overqualified for the high job position because you don't have the experience or qualifications to be successful in that field. On the other hand, if you were to choose the low job position, you would be successful in that field. It is best to choose the low job position because it will give you the opportunity to learn more about the field and also to be able to make more money as a result.
