I have a job that is scheduled to run every 15 minutes. This job some times completes in 12 minutes but many times runs over 20 minutes. Am I hurting performance by scheduling it to run every 15 minutes. Thanks

If it takes 20 mins then it will miss one 15 min interval and start again on the next one.
It won't be running twice at the same time if that's what you mean.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
