I would like to apply for a Mechanical Engineering job, which I believe I meet all of the skill/experience requirements for, except that they are asking for a PhD on the job description, which I don't have.
When I try to apply, I am sent to a web screening form, where I have to answer the question 'do you have a PhD?' (radio buttons). I have answered this honestly, but I am fairly sure the page is immediately binning my application, so it's not being sent to or seen by anybody.
The screening form looks relatively simple, so I'm fairly sure I could probably 'hack' the html/Javascript quite easily and get it to send the application through anyway (although obviously still with the honest answer 'no' to that PhD question). I'm not suggesting I would lie.
Would that be considered acceptable, or could it get me in hot water? Might they be impressed that I had the skills/ initiative to defeat their filter, or would they consider it as 'cheating' and be annoyed (possibly blacklist me)?

" I am fairly sure the page is immediately binning my application," - how could you know that?
