You dont need to reduce your age. What will be will be. In march, a friend of my father offered me a contract job with skye bank. The condition was that I reduced my age from 26 to 24. I clocked 26 in february. I told him I would do the job but I should be allowed to write my true age on my cv. He insisted I reduced my age and I said I would never do that, so I turned down the job. I came under a lot of pressure from my father who saw me as a lazy guy who was satisfied with waking up to eat his food everyday. I stood my ground and it was not easy. What will be will be. This is only my opinion though.
