Sarah Palin sure didn't help McCain much either...

Sure didn't. I was reading that she is losing her popularity in the Republican party very fast. I think it was in the Huffington Post today.

This topic has gone off track, long enough. Time to get back on topic.

The more I had time to think about it. Lying about age, is a good option. I won't go below 40, because then I can't cry age discrimination. I need to buy a wig. It is best if is beat up a little. afro

I know that I could fit into this one. At least I couild have fun with it!

They already ask for your date of birth so there's no reason to ask how old you are.

Senior moment, just subtract 22 from birth year. Could also claim senior moment, I already have the papers on being mental. I need to pass the physical. Big Retail Companies Require Job Applicants To Disclose Their Age - Page 2 468390

just wondering how Ruth got away with lying? If they did a background check it would be obvious no one by that name was born on the date she used. Does this mean companies are not doing the background checks on candidates who make it through?

Also, I have applied and been interviewed 2x by a big retailer and my first instinct was to fill in the birthdate section with zeros. Guess what? They are on to you and the form does not allow this.
