You've not looked at job postings in a while, have you?
No one is "qualified" for anything anymore. I've literally seen postings with requirements like "8 years experience with [Programming Language]" when said language was only created 3 years ago.
They're all written by HR drones with zero understanding of the actual needs of the department they're hiring for.
You have to apply for things you're unqualified for if you want to get anywhere now.
I actually was on the job market just a few months back for the first time in 15 years. Those sorts of comedy postings are not common. It's true that often the position doesn't require as much experience as the "dream candidate" they're asking for in the job posting, but A) they're aware of that, and B) they take that into account when screening resumes. Lying on your resume is not required, it's only going to waste everyone's time if you do.
