Already tried last year when I was waiting for PhD viva. They all rejected my applications once they found out I'm doing/waiting for PhD graduation. They thought I was overqualified. Unless I lied on my resume and omitted PhD part 
Thanks for your reply. I have been unemployed for a month. Maybe I am a bit freaking out and anxious to the prospect that I will unemployed for another 6 months. Granted I already got several interviews to go
My wife returned from Denmark with a PhD in biochemistry in Dec 2014. By that time she had published 6 research papers. She got a job by March 2015. She moved to another job a year later as a senior chemist. Thanks for your reply. I have been unemployed for a month.

She had zero problems with being 'overqualified' etc. She didn't need to lie etc.
Private companies value her expertise in analytical chemistry and her know-how in handling high end scientific equipment.
She says while her PhD gets her noticed, in the end it's all about what skills you actually bring to the table.
She die-die doesn't want to work as lecturer in local uni, she says the environment suck balls and the politics is too much.
