I have a masters degree in in information technology and years of IT experience but can not land a job these days. I need to be working and need the finance. I am not getting any responses to my applications. I am geussing now that I could seem over qualified and the companies are assuming that they would have to pay me a lot more or I would get bored and leave the job after awhile. Should I take out my masters degree out of my resume?

Absolutely not. I agree with "knowssignlanguage" in part. With your qualifications, you should NOT be having trouble. My guess is that you're in a bad region for your offerings. In SF Bay Area, the job boards, newspapers, websites are flooded with ads for IT guys.
Can you consider moving to an area with better potential? And, yes, that tends to support the idea of Monster.com.
PS: In another response, CV is noted as an 'also-rand' with "resume". A "CV" is a Curriculum Vitae. Roughly translated from Latin, it's your statement of your Life's Study. The term is ONLY used in academic circles. Unless you intend to teach (which might be an idea for you), don't even use the term. Flipping terms like that around when they don't apply means YOU don't really know what it means and you're over your head. It puts BIG questions ion the listener's head.
Your qualifications are good. Stay on SOLID ground.

My husband is applying for new posts as well, and apparently a great deal of companies nowadays want a really decent cover letter along with the CV/resume, and in a lot of instances it's the cover letter that gets people the interview!
If you do a search for how to do a CV or resume, or even for cover letters, you will find lots of useful advice.
Good Luck!

There is no necessity to lie. First of all, we need to know what the employers are looking for. My first suggestion is to prepare an effective resume,, try for references,, post the resume in naukri.com. There are lot of ways in getting the job,, you can also try consultancies in your local area. At any cost don't loose your confidence in trying,, you can definitely get it,,

no do not lie just tell them that you need the job. why not put your reme on monster.com or some websites like that. You can also put that you will not relocate and then they will try to get you jobs near your area. GOOD LUCK

you should (and would) checklist this. yet there probable would be no longer something executed approximately it. I pay my taxes and conflict besides and it irks me that folk abuse the gadget, however the gadget is desperate as much as sell abuse and forestall working people who choose slightly short-term help from being helped. Ain't that united statesa.?

No! Just study and prove to them that you can do it, and you are serious, and you are not just an old fart. You are a veteran with experience.
