This.
Even with paid positions, it isn't clear to me that you are obligated to share information you don't wish to share. It is not only permitted but is actually standard practice to share only relevant job experience going back no more than twenty years, now, regardless of what other employment you've had. I am coming to realize that my co-workers who interviewed me were led to believe, by my youthful perspective and energetic disposition, that I was ten years younger than I actually am. If the omission of the first ten years of my professional work experience helped overcome age discrimination I might have been subjected to, then that's a good thing.
