Hmmm… Just received feedback from the interviews I’ve had recently. I didn’t get the jobs but it was the feedback that interested me. “You’re too much.” “Too good.” “You overpowered the job. We would love to have you around, but this isn’t the job for you. You need to aim one or two levels higher.” I’ve never had feedback like that before. I went back to my diary and matched the interviews with what pheros I was wearing that day. As I suspected, I was wearing 2 drops of A314 for those interviews. It really does make you “too cool for skool”. I’ll have to drop it and go as a blank canvas in future. See if that makes a difference. Musk ---

Try [Instant Honesty](https://a314.com/product/instant-honesty/) or A314 tempered by Instant Honesty. I never wear A314 by itself unless I want to be “too much.” ---

My LTR has the same problem sometimes… her problem isn’t A314 but being over-qualified Are you sure thats not part of the problem?\> ---

> [@Wrlprchnx](#): > > My LTR has the same problem sometimes… her problem isn’t A314 but being over-qualified > > Are you sure thats not part of the problem?\> No, none of them mentioned qualifications or experience as the problem. They were talking about me as a person being too much for the job and saying I should aim higher, you’re better than this. I asked for more detail and they said it’s nothing I specifically said or did. They just got the impression they were talking to someone who is used to doing things bigger and better, being granted more autonomy, control etc. Someone who is used to giving orders, not taking them. I thought, “A314, it’s got to be.” I’ve never had feedback like that before pheros. Musk ---

Not that it’s bad to be looked at like that, but in your situation it obviously didn’t go well. I wonder if not trying to act too congruent with the A314 would’ve helped? ---

Hrmm… I guess I’ve only had one interview since getting Pheros… and one of the job requirements was a significant level of autonomy and decision making… Although I did wear IS with my A314 for the interview… ---

Maybe Go for a better job. One that pays a good bit more and that you could pull off. But for another interview maybe add some shine, with the Honesty and A314 ---
