<p>This will be another case discussion. There are 3 security groups on campus. The campus police, private security company, and the student security team. The function of the security team is to escort students around campus at night through the early morning with radios and other assorted functions. </p>
<p>There is a student that has been a licensed security guard for two years, working on special events, transporting property, and being part of a team of guards for a team of private investigators. </p>
<p>The student wishes to stop his present work duties and work on the student security team for a semester to have more time to focus on studies. </p>
<p>The student director of the student security team is afraid that this candidate can do a better job managing the student security team than him so the director tells the candidate he is overqualified and encourages the candidate to find a campus job somewhere else. </p>
<p>Now this is where it gets interesting.</p>
<p>The candidate ends up being infinitely more qualified than not only the director, but the person who got hired instead: </p>
<p>The candidate, disgruntled by being told he is overqualified by the cowardly director, hires an allied private investigator to look into the situation and get background information on the director, the job opening, and the candidate that eventually got hired. </p>
<p>The candidate that got hired was a 110lb freshman girl with no security training or experience whatsoever.</p>
<p>The security candidate is now burning mad, and he thinks the director is irresponsible and careless for putting the campus in potential danger by hiring the barely qualified candidate as opposed to the well-qualified candidate for the director’s personal gain. </p>
<p>The security candidate wants to do professional damage so that no serious firm would ever hire the director again. Not physical harm, but professional harm so that the director’s career aspirations go unfulfilled. </p>
<p>**1. Are the feelings of the qualified security candidate wrong in this situation? </p>

<li>Would you rather have complex surgery done on you by an “overqualified” surgeon or a barely competent one? Would you rather have an overqualified lawyer defending you or a barely competent one?**</li>
