Re: Should people get a job on ability or because they tick a PC box?

Less I can see your logic, but I am not sure if I agree with it.
It is sometimes easier to,get a job when you are in a job....and employers are wary of people who have gaps in their employment history.
Yes, sometime you CAN be over qualified for a job, but that does not mean that you should not be doing it.
It is better to be in a job you are 'overqualified' for than to be selected purely because you tick some minority box, but do not really have the skills that the job requires.
