Chris Harper, co-founder of ZippedScript, stops by to talk about the number of people who lie on their resumes and shares his company's approach to flipping the script on education verification. ZippedScript offers global degree verification (in the U.S. and for any country in the world) instantly using new technology that connects directly to an institution’s database with 100% accuracy. Chris says this is only the beginning as they have plans to expand into other areas on the resume where people are even more likely to misrepresent the truth. So, if you didn't go to Harvard or didn't get that Master's Degree in Political Science, it's time to either update your resume or get to work on those applications.

Jobs Blow gets a visit from Nick Girard, a financial analyst and author of the novel, “In The Beginning,” a retelling of the story of creation (Old Testament) where God is the antagonist and Lucifer is the rebel who established the true paradise. Raised as a Christian, Nick’s insider view of the cost of repeated catastrophes caused him to reexamine his childhood faith and reassess his view of God and his modus operandi – is God truly loving, or is it all a ruse to keep humans engaged and worshipful for his pleasure? Why does God allow tragedy on an almost daily basis? George Michael sang, "You gotta have faith." Nick disagrees.
