I do not think you should lie, but leaving out irrelevant
information and shortening the resume makes sense.
Someone told me a resume should catch an eye in the
first paragraph and fit on one page. I personally
know managers who move 3 page resume at the bottom of
the pile so they do not have to read it right now.

BTW good article about getting jobs and negotiating
the terms of employment:

Anthony,
Does that mean we should lie, leave out, etc?

Subject: Linux Job Order
As a recruiter I do work with people that are 40+ in years. If I have one
suggestion to people who fall into that category(40+) it would be to only
list what you've done in the last 5 to 6 years. What disqualifies many of
my 40+ candidates is a resume that has 15 to 20+ years experience working
with computers.
So far my organization hasn't identified any qualified candidates to fill
the Linux programmer position. I guess I'm throwing my fishing pole into
the lake to see if anyone will bite. I appreciate your suggestions that
have been listed, and any future suggestions that you may have. Please feel
free to call me if anyone has a few minutes to talk to help me out.
