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?

    An over qualified, unemployed person is "generally speaking" looking to use a job to step-up, as in,leave when a better job becomes available in 6 to 8 months. It's just easier to train-up a new, under qualified person, than risk starting over again in 6 months.
