I'm updating my resume, and debating whether to include the year I graduated (it’s been over a decade.) Do you think leaving it off raises any red flags for employers or do they not really notice?

Leave the dates out. After 10 years just blast away on your experience Best of lucks

i wouldn’t add it; just highlight your experience. they’ll care more about that than the year you graduated. maybe if you went to a prestigious school you can add the school and type of degree you got though!

I’d say employers don’t pay much attention to it, especially if you have strong experience. As long as the rest of your resume is solid, I wouldn’t stress over it.

For a linear regression analysis… the equation of a line is Y=MX+B, where M is the slope. So if I’m measuring a line across 365 days and M=.2, can I say that I have increased production by 20% over a year. Or is production increasing 20% each day?
