"Over qualified" is one of the worst things you can hear. I KNOW I CAN DO MORE, BUT THIS IS ALL I CAN FIND NOW. I hate explaining that to people. But bills have to be paid. And yes, I will leave your company if someone is willing to pay me $5 or $10 more an hour with benefits ( 2 weeks notice of course)., but you aren't hiring for that. We are in a job market that favors the people hiring and not the people looking for a job.
