I know a lot of people are removing dates from their résumé. Like dates of graduation. You can also remove some of the oldest job experiences from your résumé.
Leave off your first job or two. It's likely irrelevant to what you do today anyway.
Never have graduation dates.
I do have on my resume that I'm a distance runner/ultramarathoner. People tend to think that at least I have some energy despite my advanced age (I'm 66, and when I was 65 I completed a 50K race). That may or may not be frowned on as ableist.
Most important, make sure your resume focuses on your *accomplishments,* not your tasks. I see far too many resumes that are nothing more than a copy-and-paste of job descriptions with no indication of how *good* you were at those tasks and what the positive outcomes were.
