Dumbing down resumes... Sigh. I am currently at this point. The last job I held I worked 60 hours a week, and it left me no personal time. I am now looking for something a little more simple, with less responsibility and a normal 40 hour work week. The problem is that I have way too much experience for these jobs, and keep getting the "no thanks / overqualified" answer despite having applied to 50 ++ jobs. I have decided to give it exactly one more week, and then I will start tweaking my resume. I will definitely start by removing some titles, and responsibilities, and add some low-key responsibilities such as customer service, data entry, administrative duties etc. I was reading the blog on lying on your resume earlier today, and everyone seems to be doing it anyway. I don't see the big deal, as long as you don't complete make stuff up. What't wrong with tweaking a bit? I don't know what your background is, but definitely change titles, and if you have more than a bachelors degree remove that too. If you're holding a master's degree in economics and are looking for a survival job, most employers will think something is wrong with you. Keep things simple and short. A long resume is another tell-tale sign of either bull**** or overqualification. Your responsibilities should be very basic and easy to transfer to your desired position.

Good luck!
