Do you think putting specific dates on an online job application could actually hurt your chances? I'm concerned about ageism in hiring, and it makes me wonder if including that level of detail could get my application filtered out if I'm a certain age. How do you feel about it?

Yes, ageism is real. I wish it weren’t a factor, but I’ve heard from recruiters that sometimes resumes get screened out just based on experience length or graduation dates. I’ve started using a ‘hybrid’ resume with no dates for education and only my last 3 jobs with the years. It's getting more views, from what I've been seeing so far.

Yes, I have learned to hide my age Impossible to hide during an interview, though.

I've seen people trim dates so age bias won't be a factor but I've found that some of them end up giving the hiring manager suspiciousness since there is missing info. Or the ATS won't flag it. I would look into the company you're applying to and see if you think ageism would be a problem before fully editing you resume.
