The last time I applied for a job I “dumbed” down the application. No resume submitted at all.

I didn’t brag about what I now call my “past-life,” but did focus on the skills needed for the job applied for.

I got the job.

I didn’t lie, just didn’t feel they needed to know I decommissioned several nuclear reactors. Seriously...LOL.

I appreciate the advise. I've received the exact same advise (some through PM’s) and I guess that's the route I'm going to be taking. Thanks for taking the time to make the suggestion.

Yep....that is the secret...downplay your skills to fit the requirements...and sometimes just do an application alone...no resume if not required. And dress for the position when interviewed. Don’t overdress...and remove all “metal” for those who have it.
