I’ve been noticing resumes without a date for college graduation. But all the dates are there for jobs. So does it make sense to hide that one piece if I can do the math based on work history? 🤷‍♂️ And I’m over 40 and in this bowl. So I don’t care about age. Actually, I do. Because I prefer more experience than less.

Most resume advice says to list only the last 10 years. Even if you go beyond that, you can still shave 5-10 years off your perceived age by leaving out your first few jobs and your college year. This becomes more of a big deal when you’re over 50. Nobody cares what you achieved at an entry-level job 30 years ago.

I lie on my resume. I say I graduated 15 years later than I actually did. I look decent for my age.. I get tons of jobs.

But you have to lie. So...can you be trusted to tell the truth?

A recruiter told me to take the years off the education, only list the institution.
