I totally get this. I’m in my 50s too, and it feels like you can’t win. I ended up trimming my resume to the past 15 years and just briefly summarized the earlier stuff in a “previous experience” section. It helped me get more interviews without feeling like I was hiding anything.
I leave off dates. Nothing deceptive about it.
I find the same issue - I don’t have dates just how many years in the industry
Today, the standard needs to be changed to no dates on resumes at all. Age discrimination is very real. While we can’t hide our age during interviews, we should be able to get the interview based on merit.
