  "It's easily explained by the truth: "I'm changing careers", "The job market is tough", "I've always loved acting", etc..." Here is the thing: This sort of thing doesn't help much. I knew a dude that was told to his face, multiple times, that they didn't think he'd be happy making the money the place was offering and that they thought he'd be unhappy in a low position. The result was not getting a job. It didn't matter what he said. He simply needed a job. The money didn't matter so much because him and his wife downsized and owned a house and car, but he still needed a little income. He really didn't want the stress of management. No job. It doesn't matter what the truth is if it doesn't get past the filters of the person hiring. And that is if you even get to the interview portion where you can explain that sort of thing. Online applications for low-paying jobs are pretty basic. (of course, so were the paper ones they were replacing).
