I am having difficulty in my job search- Most interviews I have attended tend to lean towards the Over qualified arena. I have been told by one prospective employer " I can't hire you, I am afraid you would take my job." I have a Military and Federal Government background which I feel tends to intimidate some employers with less requirements. I have limited experience with some of the advanced job requirements. I learn very quickly and have the ability to adapt to any environment; however, most employers require the experience up front. I am currently in training for some of those requirements. Could someone please provide some advice?

My take: poor focus.
1. The title "Administrator/Supervisor" says little. Replace it with more descriptive titles. One resume should be as a caseworker (maybe for insurabnce company targets). One should be as a warehosue manager. When I first saw the title, I misread it as AdministratIVE Supervisor and thought you'd oversee a bunch of secretaries.
2. Your Career Identity section is actually a compilation of skillsets, and says nothing about your career identity (although I've never seen that term in a resume previously). Note what those skillsets are: computer literacy, geting along with people, and doing research. You should put in skills or accomplishments here that track to your resume title. Since you did not do this, it makes you look confused.
Also, I went to the careermotivation.com website and would suggest you just get a yahoo or hotmail address to jobsearch. I don't see how using their email address will help your search. Some potential employers will think based on its appearance, that you are using your work email, which is a VERY strong no-no.
