生活一團糟，個人理財不善，認為失業不是藉口：「年輕人找工不難，便利店、快餐店都可以呀，但你不肯屈就，現在犯法好高尚咩？

This sums it up. Some people just want to keep the status quo and would never admit the reality.

My experience is that employers don't mind, unless they are looking for someone who's willing to commit long term.
But in today's world, if your job is not that great to begin with, very few people would want to stick around.

Let's not talk about fastfood or customer service jobs, coz a degree is useless in these positions.

If your job doesn't require too much training, why would it bother you that your hire would leave very soon? (Well, I don't mean weeks, but let's say half a year).  If I were an employer, I would rather hire someone who can do the job well for 6 months rather than someone who makes tons of mistakes but is willing to stay long.  Stability is important, but if you got someone who's not doing a great job, what's the point of keeping the person anyway.

You have to realize that there's a big difference in ability among hires.  Say you have two candidates, person A who's willing to stay for 10 years and person B who's only willing to stay for 6 months.  Person A makes mistakes regularly and there's no reason to expect that he/she would improve significantly.  Person B is bright and very efficient and can do two people's jobs at once.  Which one would you pick?

how can you tell a person will makes mistakes regularly and won't able to improve during the interview ar?

Yes, there are so many factors that you can't determine at the interview.  That's why I think it's absurd to reject someone just because he's "overqualified".  A misfit can do more damage than someone who does a good job for 6 months and move on.  Most jobs require less than half a week of specific training.  Such overhead is pretty minimal.
