Hi hope someone can help me! I had to unfortunately quit my job while on maternity leave as we moved very far away. I'm now looking for work and have seen a job I really would love - it's part time, flexible (really important as I want to spend more time with my little one for the next few years) and sounds just lovely. It is, however, a bit of a step down from previous jobs I've had and it's in a different industry (it's a university). Basically I'm overqualified.
Would it be really off-putting to the recruiter to see that I have done a Masters degree in a totally unrelated field to the job? The MA relates well to my previous industry/experience so I'm worried they might think I'd just up and leave as soon as I got a 'better offer' I suppose. Should I just keep it off and concentrate on how my work experience relates to this new role? I was working throughout the MA so haven't any employment gaps. My first degree was in English (totally unrelated to the MA) so will keep that one on the application.
