    Sounds like you could get around some of that by simply "failing to report" select parts of your resume.

    After all, they are not relevant.

    Who could blame you?

    That's what she said, mate.

    Anyhow, employers are getting less likely to employ the "over-qualified" because they are self-important smart arses who can't just do what they are told. I am in the fortunate position of having been under-qualified for every job I ever had. With the result that I have a grand total of 10 days unemployment in the last 27 years.

    Rubbish! I work as hard for a job I'm overqualified to do as any other job I've had. There is always the danger of a kind of reverse snobbishness when you work in waitressing, catering, pubwork, admin, telesales, customer service etc from those who don't have a good education, towards those who do. I'm always careful not to shove my qualifications down other people's throats and don't think I'm any better than my co-workers just because I have a good education.
