If you are overqualified for a job, you have more training, more study, or more years of work than that job really needs. It sounds like a good thing, but in job talk it is often a polite no. The company may worry that you will get bored, ask for more money, or leave when a bigger job appears. You can be overqualified on paper, or because you have already done a much larger job. Though actually, some people take a smaller job on purpose — for family, for a move to a new place, or for a quieter life — and then they have to explain this label. It is a workplace word, a little formal. You meet it in job ads, interviews, and emails from the people who hire.
