Overqualified, Under Considered, Still Rising.
from Careers By Kirsten Podcast · host Kirsten McKinnon
How to make progress when the hiring system feels broken. If you're feeling overlooked, sidelined, or stuck in a hiring process that seems to favour buzzwords over brilliance — you're not alone. In this episode, we explore the very real experience of being labelled “too experienced” or “not the right fit” and what to do when the system doesn’t see you. You’ll learn how to: ✅ Build momentum even when no one’s calling ✅ Shift from waiting to be picked → to showing your value ✅ Reclaim your confidence and design your next chapter on your terms ✅ Build visibility in ways that cut through hiring noise Because the truth is: You don’t need to be chosen to start. You need clarity, boldness, and a willingness to be seen.
