Almost anyone over age 40 who is looking for a job might be tempted to shave a few years off to seem younger…but thats not a good idea because if you get the job you want, the company will check your background after you start work and inaccuracies on your resume are not taken lightly.  Here’s a tip on a better resume strategy…Create a short section called “Early Experience” or Additional Experience” with just a sentence or two outlining what you did in your first jobs.  That takes care of the age issue without drawing attention to it.  In short, make sure the company can see your experience makes you the best candidate for the job…good luck…Lee
