I took my Master's off my resume in order to better the odds a bit. Since I am retired military I can "afford" to do something a little less "aggressive" income-wise. I do not in any way want this to be construed as "rubbing your face in it" because of my retirement income. The point is altering the resume to fit the situation.

I had a hard time getting over the feeling that not telling them I had an advanced degree was not a lie. It is just giving the necessary information to get the job. Over-qualified? Probably. Employed? Yup. Let the other experience you have slowly, if ever, creep out over time. You can present it as dabblings or experimenting with new and different things. It will show that you have the desire and ability to learn new things.

Just a few random thoughts and babblings.
