eli5 What does "Overqualification" mean when it comes to employment?

Basically your skills and experience are way beyond the requirements of the role.

This can be seen as a negative by employers because they think you’re going to treat the position as a stopgap, or will get bored, or won’t be a great fit in a junior role where you’d previously been in a senior one. Basically they’re worried that, one way or another, you’re not going to be around for long and they’ll have to go recruiting again.
