Summary: "Overqualified is the easiest answer to give a job seeker when an employer passes on hiring an over 45 year old candidate.

Employers who pass on baby boomers don’t want to ‘handle’ the questions and emotions that result from refusal; they want to move on to the next candidate. Same goes for recruiters." Rita Ashley
