It is an excellent question. Having an answer to it would be very valuable and I spent a lot of time thinking about it but found no conclusive answer. Sadly. First of all, I do not condemn people trying to do their best to legally provide for themselves even if it means trying to get the job that they are not qualified for (as long as it is legal). Just look at our politicians. I might take an issue if you are straight lying about facts and your abilities. But at the same time I think I am fully justified to politely refuse to be the sucker that hires them. One reason you may want to know if you are qualified for the job is if you want to stay there for longer. Sometimes for some people stability over long term pays more than constantly getting jobs that are just above your level.
