I don't know that I'd hold "overqualification" against someone right now. When you've been out of work for month after month, you'll apply for ANY job that will offer a steady paycheck.
At least, that's what I'm hearing from friends and acquaintances who find themselves in this position. A dear lady I know was let go from her job due to layoffs. She's a Certified Public Accountant with two masters degrees. She finally found a job after over a year of searching as an entry level bookkeeper/office manager. She's making a third of what she was making before. Does she get bored? Sure. But she goes into that job every day with the mindset that this is her job now and she's going to do it to the highest standard she knows because that's the kind of person she is.
Heck, people with just the right qualifications for a job can get bored, if the job is boring. (And some jobs are just boring by nature.) Will my friend move on when things are better? Probably. But lots of people move on from jobs no matter what their qualifications.
