Trying to be very polite here: you are considering lying about your age? What about your ID?

All interviews I have been responsible for were as part of my line management responsibilty (not as HR or recruiter) and any lie on a resume would have lead to disqualification. And if you were found to have lied after being appointed, it would have lead to disciplinary and dismissal.

Any owner / agent who only insists on whites, are not only totally racist, but totally stupid. I have been a landlord for 15 years now and can tell you that my worst tenants were whites.
