I don't make up the rules or the job reqs. If a hiring manager wants an undergrad + 1-2 years of exp., he/she is not going to look at MBAs with 10 yrs of exp. It just does not work. The more experienced candidate has become accustomed to being in more of a leadership role, they are accustomed to being the "goto" person and the decision-maker. We don't hire them for junior positions because they immediately start challenging their management - trying too hard too soon to claw their way out of the position they so desperately wanted. Plus, the resentment over $$ sets in immediately. They feel taken advantage of from day one because they are making crappy $$ and wasting all of their knowledge and expertise in a low-level position. Clue in, Bob.

Everyone should read the message "No, Bob - you just don't get it", it contains very valuable information about how HR people fell about "overqualified" job applicants.
Some of it may even be true, but it's attitudes like the poster expresses which explains why you won't get hired if you are overqualified for a job, or merely perceived as being overqualified for a job.
