在当前困难的社会经济背景下，资历过高的毕业生在进入就业市场和寻找适合其资历和满意度的工作方面日益面临挑战。本文以自我人种学方法为基础，反思了作者（一位年轻的欧洲女博士毕业生）进入就业市场时所经历的挑战。最终目的是帮助了解众多资历过高的年轻人目前状况的某些方面，特别是在社会科学和人文学科领域，他们在简单地找到工作或符合其资历水平和薪资期望的工作方面存在困难。在这方面，它强调了高等教育政策和学术机构对减少博士失业率和过度技能的责任。最后，它指出了一些可能的解决方案，例如跨学科学术研究（包括高等教育和性别研究）的潜力，以成功地为高等教育政策提供信息，以解决博士技能和属性的劳动力市场相关性问题。
In the difficult current socio-economic context, overqualified graduates are increasingly facing challenges in terms of entering the job market and finding jobs which fit their levels of qualifications and satisfaction. Grounded in an auto-ethnography approach, this paper reflects on the challenges that the author (a young female European PhD graduate) experienced when she entered the job market. The ultimate aim is to contribute to the understanding of some aspects of the current situation of numerous overqualified young people, especially in social sciences and the humanities, who have difficulties in terms of simply finding jobs or jobs which fit their levels of qualifications and salary expectations. In this regard, it highlights the responsibility of higher education policies and academic institutions for contributing to the degradation of PhDs’ unemployment and overskilling. Ultimately, it points out possible some solutions such as the potential of interdisciplinary academic research (including higher education and gender research) to successfully inform higher education policy in view of tackling the issue of the labour market relevance of PhDs’ skills and attributes.
