Tech-support Hall of Shame

[Hanasaki JiJi]

 From my personal HR Dictionary:
OverQualified def:
needs a job bad so will take this in a pinch while looking for another 
job that will pay more for all the skills.  RED FLAG  Hire someone 
hungry and pay them a bit more than they are worth, or less, and then 
they have nowhere else to go.
