I'd love to work at Allianz. How does the company see senior candidates applying to jobs below their experience? Tks!
Additional information
I have applied to a number of openings (not at Allianz) but fear that I'm not getting selected because I may be regarded as "overqualified". I don't mind, I am so eager for an opportunity!

Dear Patricia,
Thank you for reaching out!
I have had the similar experience when I first came to Germany. My applications were rejected and some of the reasoning was the fact that I am overqualified. Just like you, I was eager to learn and open to all opportunities.
That being said, I can not confirm how it is for other companies but at Allianz, we always welcome people with motivation and skills. If you are qualified for a position, then go for it and if you are over-qualified, it is our gain :)
Hope this answer helps.
Take care and stay healthy!
All the very best
Best regards,
Nasir
