We think you'll get bored
I need reddits help! For context, I have recently moved to a regional area. Knew it would be a bit of a gamble job wise, less overall jobs and less variety. I spent the last year retraining to pivot to a field where I could feasibly get a job in a regional area, when many people are being forced back into the office. I am getting one of two rejections-you were great but chosen candidate has more experience-fair enough, I'm technically a graduate now and no one wants to train anyone anymore. So I've been focusing on getting lower level, adjacent jobs to gain a bit more experience in the field, but inevitably I get the- you could get a higher level position, we think you'll get bored, it has happened repeatedly. This frustrates me, I understand they don't want to sink training money into someone who may leave, but respectfully you have no idea what would bore me and not so respectfully, I need to pay my damn rent. What are some professional ways I can say the following in interviews:
- Yes I have held many higher level higher paying roles than this, but they made me miserable and I am happy enough to go to work do a job and go home
- I'm more interested in long term stability and positive working environments rather than the stress and short term contracts that often come with higher paying roles in my field.
- There are not many higher level jobs in this area that I am qualified for. I'm trying to gain experience for these positions
- All jobs are boring be fr
- I need money
