It may just well be bad luck or my competitors are just better. I have know way of knowing. I wasnt always as overqualified, the contacts I met always said keep trying as I gained more experience and education. I lost hope, now that I know they probably do assume that I dont want a non public sector career long term. I live in a big diverse city though and after so many attempts without a single call I cant help but wonder if /how I am the problem.

I’ve considered trying to change my name & ethnicity to non caucasion to get a county job. Seems unethical, but ive never been called for an interview on lvl 1-3 jobs I’ve been over qualified on after a decade of trying. All my fam were civil servants and I cant do it unless I go the nepotism route it seems and I dont want to live there.
