I understand their motivations, I just think they are going about it all wrong.
In the past when I have had to enter the job market I found my experience / resume to be a double edged sword. I never put salary info out there but I got alot of feedback that they wouldn't be able to make me an offer to meet my pay grade or that they felt I was over qualified because I've held exec level roles.
For these individuals, middle management and below, I think fluffing up their career with titles they never held such as Director, VP or General Manager is hurting their chances at landing a job they are truly qualified for. If they do get in the door, chances are they are going to fall on their face in the interview, or if by chance they do get past the interview process and taken on board god bless them.
The economy is turning around but companies are still trying to run lean. Unless I had a leadership vacuum I would be much more apt to take someone who has a solid work history in middle management and seems eager to earn a title.
