I remove t graduation dates but your experience dates may still reveal your age
Yes, remove grad years and include current employment, don’t go more than 10 years, unless relevant.
Definitely remove the graduation years. As Attorney1 said, experience dates could still date you. If you’ve been at a single company for 15+ years, that is an issue because I wouldn’t want to lie and change the start date to something more recent. If you’ve changed jobs a bunch, consider just leaving some of the oldest jobs off of the resume. A lot of times the experience you had early in your career isn’t relevant or impressive anymore, or it’s redundant to the experience you had at newer jobs. So leave it off. This also has the benefit of making your resume short and sweet. If older jobs that you would consider dropping have some really important experience that you want to relay, find a different way to get it on your resume. For example, remove the job from experience but add a projects section to talk about some of those older projects without having to use dates. Or add a more detailed skills section. Etc.
If you have $$$ and time, get an industry certification and place that at the top of your education and certs so it reads something like " industry cert, may 2025. Univ of ABC, bachelors." And omit the year off your education... then they just focus on the years given.
