Liar liar pants on fire! On this week’s episode, we chat about the ethics of lying to try and land the role. 

But first we touch on the Q&A Alicia attended with Talent Agent Nicole Allman from Reinhard Talent and Model Agency. T has questions!

Then we dive into our discussion with the question: When it comes to lying on your resume, is it a clever job hack or a career unaliving?

Listen as we discuss the importance of having integrity and the consequences of telling a little white lie.
