At what point did everyone stop listing the year they graduated on their resumes? I completed my undergrad in 2014, and I'm wondering if it's time to start trying to hide my age from employers?

I feel like this is like listing your pronouns on your email -- whether you need to or not, you can do it in solidarity of those that do

funny

I think you have a lot better chance of getting the job with pronouns than with a graduation date in the aughts or earlier.

You’re a CD under 40. You’re the reason people remove their graduation dates in the first place.

On my resume I still have it (2015). But I hid it from my LinkedIn.

I never even completed undergrad. Nobody cares.

I’m a mid level writer in my late thirties. I haven’t experienced any issues with my age. Should I be expecting people to care about that? I can’t see why it would matter.

Never put it to begin with 🤷

Yes. Definitely.

I'll tell you what it is: referencing!

You have to do so much of it, and it's so annoying. You have to cite your sources, but there are so many different formats for citations! And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
