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?

    Employers see an over-qualified person as someone who's likely to become bored, who'll feel like their full range of skills/experiences aren't being utilized, and who will feel underpaid, leaving for a better job.
