In Reply To: ...I don't think it matters that you're taking a "lower level" position than might be expected in a better hiring environment. Nowadays, people with Ph.D.'s in biostatistics are routinely applying for data analysis positions meant for B.S. degreed people.
Message: You're a Ph.D and are interviewing for low level positions at the junior level? I know this is the worst job market in 20 years but why degrade yourself? You worked hard for that "super" advanced degree and going to take a job meant for a dorky Bachelor degree candidate? Perhaps you should reconsider!
