A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

A lot of times places like that won’t look at you if you’re overqualified, because they don’t want to spend the time and effort to train you, knowing or expecting you to be looking elsewhere from day 1.

That's why you lie on your resume if you're applying for a job you're overqualified for

Correct currently working at Walgreens as a shift lead. Bullshit resume and bs my way through the interview. Even didn't start until I passed my P&C license exam. Just waiting on a license then I can apply at good paying jobs. Its tough and retail sucks. But got to pay the bills and do what got to do to survive.
