Question

Help answer this question below.

I'm fairly young and don't have much experience in the business world. So I'm wondering, why would an employer not hire someone due to them being over-qualified? If they were over-qualified, shouldn't that be a GOOD thing for the company?

    over-qualified employees will not be content to settle for a job that is clearly beneath them, not for long, anyway. by the time the company has invested time and resources training/familiarizing that employee with their work, the employee will have moved on to a better job. then the company must start all over again, advertising, interviewing, training...you get the idea
