Explanation

During a phone interview yesterday, the interviewer asked me the following question:

You're so qualified, why are you applying for a low level administrative assistant job?

I tried, politely, to explain to her that positions congruent with my education and experience are going to people with much more experience than I have and positions that are, essentially, pretty basic for me are hard-won for people as highly educated as I am.

But, really?  The bottom line is--I just need a fucking job.  You know I can do the job.  You've said so yourself.  Hire me already.
