Being overqualified for a job has nothing to do with it-if a job is posted, an employer should not factor gender, race, or any other protected class of person into the amount of compensation they offer for the job. overqualification is not a new issue. discrimination suits were always an option. this law just extends the statute of limitations. lie about your experience. people have done it before. and in this case, if you get the job, it's beneficial to the company. unless you sue for discrimination.
