As a resume writer and career strategist, unlike others, I don’t believe in hiding your age on a resume, nor do I believe in hiding your experience, length of employment, or graduation year.
Ask yourself: Doesn’t leaving that information look like a red flag? If so, what else is the applicant hiding?

That’s not something you want to happen with your hiring manager. I tell the same thing to all of my 50+ clients. Present your background and experience in such a way that what you have to offer is already emphasized. Here’s the thing:

Let’s suppose you leave out your graduation dates on your CV to avoid the fact that you’re older. What do you think will happen if they look at your LinkedIn profile or ask you for an interview? Unfortunately, that ageism will exist.
BUT, if you can create an impression right away, they will notice that although you are an older applicant, you are a fantastic fit for their organization because of your considerable experience. Writing them all out there is a win-win for you and your recruiter. In the job hunt, don’t be bothered about your age. Will some businesses promote ageism more than others? YES, that happens, regrettably.
However, you must take self-assurance in your abilities and use it to distinguish yourself as a top-tier applicant. Then, you’ll find the perfect job.
