It would be funny if it wasn't so true :-(

Over Qualified

Had the same issue some 13 yrs. ago. I changed my CV and found a job at the bottom (reel-stand operative). Now a Prod manager with the same company. Unfortunately being interviewed by managers who have less qualifications or less experience are under threat and will not employ yourself.
Start at the bottom and your skills will soon get you back to your correct level.

Good one! and yes it is absolutely true, I was told that numerous times, IMO, when they tell you you are over qualified it's just a more subtle way to say "we aren't going to pay you enough to keep you here for a long time" So they call you over qualified and hire someone with less qualifications, for less money.

lie,
...or dont state on your resume that you have 20 years plus experience-just say 10 years plus.

pretty sad...

Truer words have never been spoken. I might add that I've seen that work in reverse too. Some people start too high and their skills work them back to the correct level as well.

I'll go along with that, I had to start lower when I bailed on the printing industry, but it was the smartest thing I ever did, Now I am close to and gaining on where I was, and have better opportunities for advancement.
