Good points. Plus, what the older and "overqualified" folks have going for them is "maturity." Wouldn't employers like that? Even if I seem overqualified, at least I'm over 35 and more "seasoned" so wouldn't someone like that be a better choice than a gum cracking 19 year old who is gonna spend the whole shift texting her boyfriend, twirling her hair and sneaking out early to go partying?
