Abstract

A doctoral student in psychology is having an extremely hard time finding work in his field. Based on a number of jobs he has applied for, he feels that companies may feel he is "overqualified" for the positions. In an application for a job in his field, he replaces a previous job title as "counselor" instead of "psychologist" and does not mention his years of doctoral work. At the end of the application, he is worried about signing a disclaimer that reads, "The information provided on this employment application is true, correct and complete."
