Signs of Overqualification
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010Observing people maturing in their profession I found these signs of overqualification visible when a person:
- Becomes more proficient with foundational issues in contrast to specific minutiae.
- Spends more time on specific issues due to the accumulation of the deep foundational knowledge in the respected discipline.
- Delivers less from the current job requirements, for example, an architect as a builder.
- Starts reading and thinking a lot.
- Publishes a seminal book.
I would be grateful if you comment on above and share other signs you see.
