Hi, I tried submitting this to ULPT but can't get it past the auto-mod for some reason.
I'm 30-years old but because of certain life circumstances, hardships, and blah-blah-blah sob story, I'm just now getting a B.A. One thing working for me is that I look young. People often mistake me for a 20-22 year-old. I live in the U.S. How can I leverage this to my advantage and let people assume I'm nearly a decade younger than I really am? As far as I know, it is illegal to ask someone their age during a job interview, but a common tactic among employers is to infer age based on graduation year, with a bias towards fresh, young grads because they are seen as easier to exploit. Also, keeping up the lie after getting hired seems stressful, but I would like to keep my age unknown for when I eventually apply to other companies down the line. I suppose I could just keep to myself, which is my nature anyway, but I'm open to any other tips.
