As I said, the term is used too loosely.

I was not saying that you were not overqualified, what I was trying to say is that many people in a hiring position use the term "overqualified" to reject job candidates because they feel that their own job may be threatened by that overqualified candidate.

At this point in my career, I would love to be able to find an overqualified candidate I could hire who would make my life easier in the short term and eventually take over for me when I retire

PS What happened to your picture?

I must have deleted the old photo at some point. To make up for it, here's a picture from the 18th floor of the state office tower in Columbus, Ohio.
