What are your thoughts on resumes listing their work employment without showing the dates of employment?

How is a recruiter supposed to determine years of experience if there are no dates?

I’m not overly concerned about missing months, but I do think including the year is important for context. I tend to focus more on what someone has learned and contributed rather than exact timelines. If someone has held multiple roles in one year, grouping those experiences to showcase a range of skills can actually tell a stronger story.

While it can raise a red flag at first glance, I think it’s important to consider the “why.” Sometimes people move roles because hours aren’t what were promised, and they need something more stable. That context matters just as much as the timeline.

Do you feel the why would be better explained if a cover letter was submitted with resume explaining that?

I want resumes to have accomplishments, not just a copy-and-paste of job descriptions, And I want to know in which companies they had those accomplishments. Both are meaningful information. I'm good with just years, but as a senior citizen, I know that age discrimination is real and "determining years of experience" can lead to "oh, with that many years of experience, they're probably too old."

One thing that I find ridiculous is when they put "duties include but not limited to..." as though their resume is some kind of legal document.

I’ve had to step away from social media for my own mental sanity as I have a major issue with comparing myself to peers when it comes to life stages. (Single female, 34, never married, no male prospects, dog mom.) As a result, I feel like I’m doing a disservice to myself professionally as social media is a HUGE communication channel. Any advice on staying away or including it in my life in healthy ways?
