I’m cleaning up my resume and wondering if the grad year is just clutter. I usually keep it off to keep the focus on my recent projects, but I don’t want to look unprofessional if people expect to see a full timeline. Are others still listing dates, or is that becoming a thing of the past?

Because ageism is rampant in advertising, I just list the college and major. No dates. I also keep the resume to 1 page. Some earlier jobs I have deleted.

There’s absolutely no need to show dates of your education. On virtually every job’s applicant website, it’s always listed as optional when you have to manually input it.

And even when they ask on a job post, I ignore it.

I’m looking to buy a full length mirror but I want one that is high-quality and accurate. Right now I have these cheap mirrors in my apartment where the image is distorted to make me look taller and skinnier. Well this has been fantastic for my self-esteem for the past few years it’s shocking when I see what I look like in a normal mirror that isn’t a “skinny mirror.” Anyone have suggestions for a full length large mirror I can hang on the wall that will be high quality and not break the bank?
