Sometimes too much experience isn't good if the one interviewing you has less experience and may feel threatened by what you know. Knowledge is power even if you are nervous. Confidence is always good to have when nervous. I believe straight forward when answering questions is great when you want to get the interview over.

The last interview I had was in my field of expertise, but I had more experience than the guy that interviewed me. He said I had more knowledge than anyone he had interviewed before me and more years in the business than him. It must have made him nervous knowing that because I didn't get a call back after that interview. I can't seem to learn to downplay my knowledge in what I know I'm good at and it's much harder to get work in mt field where I live now because I'm a woman in a boys club field.

I don't know if any of this helps, but I wanted you to know what I've leaned about interviews.
