I have a Human Resources Question?
Okay if Human Resources is supposed to help you in your career goals in the following areas:
HR Services can help you:
•Develop change management and organizational development strategies
•Prepare an individual career plan
•Encourage employee motivation, satisfaction, and productivity
•Address challenges occurring in the department, including personal conflicts, ineffective workplace systems or resource constraints
•Understand the technical systems, policies and procedures, and legal requirements that impact how you do business
•Prepare strategic staffing plans and recruit the best talent.
So let's say you have an employee that is a hard worker, reliable, trustworthy and highly qualified, would you send that person to a job that was below their qualifications and expect them to be happy?
Prepare an individual career plan
•Encourage employee motivation, satisfaction, and productivity
•Address challenges occurring in the department, including personal conflicts, ineffective workplace systems or resource constraints
Keep the above three things in mind when answering this question, it comes from Carnegie Mellon University.
So if you have an employee that is not happy in the position that you gave them because the position is below their qualifications, do you boot the employee out of the company or do you move the employee to a position where they can be happy?
One of the problems is that this company never really told me that I would be taking a job that was way under my qualifications. They just sent me out on these assignments and would not give me anything else. I am sure that I have some responsibility too, but I was trying to stick with it, to be loyal.
I used to move my employee's around and cross train them so that they would be happy with their jobs. An unhappy employee benefits no one.

Well, first off, if you (the employee) agree to accept and apply for a position then there is some responsibility on your part. You should read what the position is and what it entails, and then make a decision to apply for it or not. If you accept the position, for what ever the reason is (need the money, need the job, need the benefits), then you know what you are getting yourself in to. There are situations at times where someone is not happy with what they did previously, maybe a promotion or another job, and make a decision to step down or take on something else.
As an interviewer/HR person, it is up to us to find a person qualified for a position, and a suitable match, yes that is true. Personally, if someone is over qualified or beyond the position that I am hiring for, and the person is still asking for the job, I would hesitate to consider them. One, they are going to get bored or unhappy and will leave the job? Meaning that time and resources have been wasted on bringing them in to the company and processing them through. Two, is this the persons way of coming to the company, and they want to use the position as a stepping stone to finding another area to transfer to if given a chance?
You never know how someone is going to do with a job or with a new company. A good hiring manager tries to find the best candidate possible, while keeping all of this in mind. Mostly, I have pretty good instincts since I've been doing this for so long. I can kind of tell how someone will fit in or not at my company after about 15 minutes in to the conversation.
