Mary had worked as a broker for Univerasal, a once prestigious commodities brokerage firm, for over 20 years before she was laid off after the firm filed for bankruptcy in the wake of a scandal. Fifty-year-old Mary applies for a position as a broker a Knott Hower Phault, a brokerage firm with 25 employees in Chicago, Illinois. Thirty eight year old senior partner Dan Knott is impressed by Mary's credentials and understands that Mary had no involvement in the FM Universal scandal. Still, he fears that Mary's years of experience make her overqualified for the broker position at his firm. Dan thinks that a professional at Mary's stage would not care to take direction from him or his partners, who are either Dan's age or younger. What advice would you give Dan?
