Loll my friend asked me who my interviewer at a tech company was and it ended up that he was best friends with my interviewer.

So then my friend randomly hits up the interviewer and he tells my bff that I did great but they have to finish interviewing all the other candidates that HR sent them. I was apparently super well prepared, but one of the first people to get sent through to that round so....is this promising or should I not get my hopes up? I passed the first round fast bc recruiter

So I was laid off back in mid April after 5 short months with a job that I absolutely loved. I’m applying to mid-senior level jobs and being told that I’m overqualified and should apply for VP level jobs. When I apply to VP level jobs I’m told those are hired internally. So, do I just lie on the resume to dumb it down?! Also- should I list the layoff in the resume and then in the ATS they have so it doesn’t look like I wasn’t just quitting after 5 months? I have it in my cover letter but is it
