Over Qualified ?

After a period of unemployment, most people become more willing to settle for less than they had hoped for. If you are willing to accept jobs where you may be defined as overqualified, consider not including some of your educational or work-related credentials on your resume -- though I do not necessarily recommend doing this.
And be prepared to explain, in the interview, why you do want this particular job and how your wealth of experience is a positive and not a negative.
