    Dear Kush, great to connect with you on the Insider and for your question.


    In some cases, having more experience or skills than the role requires can make employers concerned about long-term fit, compensation or whether the role will keep you engaged. However, this doesn’t mean you won’t be considered. The key is to clearly communicate why you’re interested in the position and how your experience can add value without impacting team dynamics . Tailoring your CV to highlight relevant skills and explaining your motivation in the cover letter can help overcome these concerns.


    I hope that helps and best of luck with your career search.


    Best wishes,


    Rana
