    It might be because you don't know how to properly use "their, they're, and there."

      Not to mention apostrophes, capital letters or punctuation.

    Overqualified means you think you are too good to work for them. They are obviously right. "crappy little stores"

    it means they think you would just use the job as a temporary stop off because you have the qualifications to get some better, higher paying job

  • Maybe they're patronizing you by telling you you're over-qualified.

    I think it's "normal" in today's job market, but I also think you need to learn how to sell yourself. Help the hiring manager see how your "awesomeness" can be an asset; don't think of these places as "crappy little stores," or apply at better places if you really do feel that way; make sure it doesn't seem like you'll leave in six months.

    Obviously, you're not that great if they haven't hired you. You're doing something wrong. If you're as smart as you say, then you should be able to figure that out.

    If this post reflects the grammar and punctuation used on your job application, it's a miracle you've ever had a job.

    Over qualified is code for untrainable.

    If you're so cool, starting your own business should be no problem.
