How do I get a job I'm overqualified for?
Briefly

Though it may seem counterintuitive to the idea that we should always be climbing a career ladder, there are plenty of reasons to want to take a step down to a role that you are overqualified for.
If the role is at a lower level and pay but at your dream company or in a different industry, explaining your passion can work in your favor.
If you are applying for a lower position because you want a less stressful position, that's okay to admit, too.
If it's a career or industry change, emphasize what skills you bring from your past work and your willingness to start again to do work you've always wanted to pursue.
