Ageism is illegal, but it still exists in the process of reviewing resumes. As a 50-year-old who has worked in the same position for 20 years, how can I avoid giving away my age on my resume?

I know what you’re saying, but unfortunately, that’s the way things are these days. I had a similar problem with the age and the resume. One thing I did was remove any dates from my education. I included my two university degrees and other certifications, but none had dates. I had five different positions at my previous company over 18 years, so I listed each position’s job title and description separately to demonstrate that I wasn’t stagnating in a single position even though I was at one company. Instead, I was constantly learning and growing, expanding my responsibilities throughout that time. Without any further information, recruiting managers believed I had started my career straight out of graduate school and had been in the industry for roughly 20 years overall, putting me in my late 30s, which was fine with me. When my supervisor met my then-22-year-old son a few months after starting my new job, he was surprised.
