I don't believe I have any reason I can't get a job in the short-term. Actively looking for a job since beginning of 2018. I need to find any job in the short term to boost my income, but can still look for my ideal role in the meantime. But feel over qualified: degree, 15yrs+ experience, but now 45.

Just to let you know there is hope. I was made redundant on my 50th birthday and was back in work 3 months later. I got the "over-qualified" rejectionfor some jobs. Maybe tailor your CV to miss some things off if you think it might be an issue for certain roles.
Good luck.

Don't you actually mean 'fudge' the CV so as to manipulate what appears to be the truth but isn't the full truth?

I have always believed that a CV should be totally honest, giving a full explanation of qualifications, experience and abilities.

However I must admit that I have never had the need to have a CV in the whole of my working life and have never been out of work until I became sick & disabled in my late 50's.

I would not make things up and say I'd got qualifications and experience I don't have. But if missing of my leadership qualification gets me an interview for a deputy manager position which I'd otherwise be discounted for as "overqualified" then yes I'd do that.
Call a fudge if you wish but if it gives me a shot at a job then fudge it is.

I thought that people respected qualifications and experience in others - the more the better. What you are saying is that it is better to be deceptive and to undersell yourself. How the world has changed.

It's always been acceptable to leave things off your CV, it's quite different from adding things that aren't true. All CVs should highlight the skills and experience required for the job, not just list everything you've ever done.

Theres nothing to stop anyone omitting anything from a CV, in fact we never looked beyond page 1, when looking for staff, its a kind of "don't ask don't tell" situation.

Leave irrelevant things of your cv if you look over qualified you wont get the job.

Say you have law degree and your applying for a job at mcdonalds. Mcdonalds spends money on training you and getting you upto speed, you find a better job and leave.

Hence Mcdonalds recruitment is strict if they believe your just there until something better comes along then your unlikely to get a job. If you say in an interview your doing it until something more suited comes along you may see it as being honest, they see it as a waste of money training you.

ANd I am sure it is the same with many unskilled jobs that you see as a temp job but they see it as your new career.
