They only want people who have a lot of previous experience with it, and complain when the pickings are slim.

But then, when someone with 20+ years of experience applies, that applicant is rejected because who wants to hire somebody over 50?

Same damn thing in the accounting field. Although I'm underemployed, at least I'm employed. Pickings have been very slim for controller/CFOs for the past few years.

I'm "dumbing down" my resume so I don't get tossed into the overqualified bucket.
