Being honest usually doesn't get you very far in a job search. It's sad but true. I've found stating that I have a BS when I don't at least gets me passed the auto filters. Then it's usually not as big of a deal once I talk to a person and they see my experience and I mention I don't have a 4 year degree.

I've seen people have offers retracted when something they've lied about is discovered, including lying about current salary, sadly.

IMO if someone's having issues getting past autofilters, they're doing it wrong. Personal network, reputation, etc doesn't need to pass through filters
