I've found it's harder to get a job you are massively overqualified for than to get one you are barely qualified for. If you need a job which you are massively overqualified for, dumb it down and do your best to appear no sort of threat. Bosses in entrenched organizations love people who are just smart enough to push the levers, but not smart enough to appear promotable, or to become bored or feel unfulfilled and cause some sort of trouble or to notice obvious abuses and have the mental capacity and wherewithal to seek remedies.... In these types of situations, appearing dumb and predictable is your best bet. And that's a very hard act for some people.
