I cannot say that I am surprised by that. I have heard of that as well. The issue it seems job coaches have contradictory ideas from coach to coach. Some say apply within you industry, others say apply anywhere. Some say apply for jobs above you while others say take anything. Who knows what to think anymore.

I thik people are either over-qualified or under-qualified these days.
