I'm confident that after the economy turns around, your company will offer further opportunities for me.

9. Tell me what will motivate you in a job that won't make use of many of your qualifications?

The first thing an HR or hiring manager has to worry about is that the open position won't stimulate you enough to keep you motivated. Since you can't successfully argue that the job requirements will offer a healthy stretch of your capabilities, try a different approach.
"You can never be overqualified in your enthusiasm, your thirst for learning and desire to mentor," says Lafair. "You're selling you, not your skills."

10. If HR say you are overqualified for this position then how you reply?

The Things Known by us May Not be Known by others, and Known by Others may not be Known by us. And So Sir,
According to me None are over Qualified for any kind of Position, Instead they can Learn Much More Things and makes them to move forward.
