Jobs For The Under Qualified - Good Reasons You Must Apply
After employers have placed a job ad, they might have to go through hundreds of resumes to sort out which candidates they would like to interview. Even though you have a college degree it does not mean that you are qualified for every position available. But let’s be realistic about things. There are many jobs that you can probably do well, but are not qualified for. There are many ways to increase your chances of landing these types of jobs. The main thing you need to consider here is the effects after getting the job.
Be sure to put on your resume all of your education and work experience. Jobs for the under qualified can sometimes be had if you show that your educational experience matches up with the job description. Do not forget to add all relative job experience as well. Internships, co-ops, and volunteer work can all be included on a resume.
Express your interest in learning, as well as your ability to learn new job functions. Often to find jobs for the under qualified employee you will need to learn some new skills. Show on your resume that you are a quick learner, and that you have had to do this in past positions.
Look deeper into what the employer is looking for. The more you know about the available position, the better chance you have. This will give you the opportunity to customize your resume according to what the employer is looking for. Check the company website for a detailed job description.
This can be a great benefit especially when the HR professional has to recruit people to fill in the vacancy very urgently.
The next benefit is that you can get some other post which may be vacant and which might suit your qualifications. Many a times, job applications may be invited for many posts that may be vacant. In such a situation, you stand a chance even if you are under qualified or unqualified. Your personality and resume may do the wonders in a similar situation.
Though there are lots of benefits that you may enjoy in spite of applying for an unqualified job, you may also have the need to face the negative side of it. The first such problem is that you would end up creating a bad impression about yourself in front of the employer. The employer may get frustrated and irritated when major part of the application is received from people who are not qualified for the job vacancy.
Use your intellect while applying for a job. If the job calls for you to hold a professional degree which you don not hold, it is advisable not to apply for the job. However, if the job does not call for any such qualification, you can very well apply. You can also apply if you are working or pursuing a degree in the particular field or if you possess the necessary minimum work experience.
Lastly, be ready to give an impressive answer to the interviewer when you are being questioned about why you applied for a job not related to your field. Your answer should be in such a way that the employer is impressed and at the same time it should be different and interesting.
All the above points if properly considered may be of great help while applying for a job for which you are not essentially qualified. They would give you an edge over the others.

Roommate income disqualifies me for medicaid?
I am an unemployed full time student with no health insurance. I applied for medicaid and I was asked to provide the income of all people living in my household.
Since my roommate has a good job they said I do no qualify.
We share the rent, it is not like I am their dependent.
I have read where people online have said they do not count as my household income, becasue I am not a dependent, but faced with being turned down for help in order to walk back into the office I must find actual printed proof rather than an online post.
I am a PA resident, and I cannot find it anything that says I don’t have to claim my roommates job as income.
PS. I checked and under Obama’s new plan I still do no qualify for medical insurance for the same reason (household income) and I am going to get fined about $2,000/year for not being able to afford it. How does that make sense?
Why did you say that lol? Just tell them you are a sub lease which would technically make you live on your own….? So whats the problem? Plust that would be real easy to work out with your roomate, why havent you guys done that already anyways?
I live in an apt complex, I don’t have to report all the other peoples incomes even though we all live in the same building. Just sign something with your roommate that says you are "renting a room as sublease" and ta da. Or you could be on the regular lease and have your roommate sign the sublease. Which ever works out best for you two.

True. Medicaid - welfare health insurance - is based on HOUSEHOLD income. It has nothing to do with being a dependent - and everything to do with cutting down rampant fraud on Medicaid.
I’m not saying it’s YOU, but hey, I lived in PA, and lots and LOTS of people shack up together, and the guy will work, and the mama will sit at home and pop out welfare babies on the public dole. Medicaid is a marriage DISINCENTIVE, without that "household income" bit.
PS, Obama’s plan, IF it gets passed (which I doubt), isn’t scheduled to go into effect until 2013 - after he gets relected (as if).
PPS - You clearly can’t afford to be unemployed by choice, and going to school. You’ll have to get a job, and do school in your spare time to support yourself. Deliberately having no income, in an attempt to get welfare benefits, isn’t a working strategy, long term.

Good job reporting your roommate’s income. Had I been you roommate I would have told you to mind your own business, thus saving you from screwing up like you did. I would just get a new form and fill it out excluding your roommate. Or, if they already have your info on record tell them that you now live on your own (and you do). Just report what you earn and what you pay, simple as that.

Sorry but your ‘room mate’ is NOT a family member and you are not in a ‘relationship’ or having sex with them which is what they are asking. Go back and say you misread or misinterpreted the question and say the are not you kin and that you are independant living.!
