[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am interviewing now. And I can tell you it is real. I have an amazing resume. However, I made it appear I graduated college in 1989. It is actually 1984.

I interview with folks 20 years younger who often have no clue what I do and companies are using HR tools to have them key in if you are hitting their weird behavioral and culture fit type responses.

I am not geared for these type of resumes.

Then I get these where do you see yourself in five years questions. First I am 59. Dont ask that, second I am applying for head of an area, so I really cant get promoted if I got the job.

Bascially they want the knowledge of a 59 year old in the body of a good looking 29 year old Hispanic femaille who passes for white. .   [/quote]

You lied on your resume?[/quote]

NP. You don't need to lie. Just don't put graduation dates after your degree. Also don't put anything that is older than 10 years on your resume unless you are interviewing for a niche or executive job. Nobody gives a shit about what you are good at 10 years ago anyway.[/quote]
