I removed old jobs because they revealed how old I actually was.
OMG yes! My earlier history is way more exciting, especially since I have a lot of editorial/entertainment media in my background. On my resume I remedy this by providing detailed descriptions for the last 5 years, shorter ones for gigs 5-10 years old, then grouping the remaining company names at the end under previous experiences (it does help that I primarily freelance so that the number of companies isn’t necessarily questionable).
Good luck. It seems most people don't want anyone with more than 10 years experience. And it gets truly hard to hide experience when you end up having the on camera interview. I literally had a department head who was half my age ignore me during the entire interview. He took one look at me and worked on his computer while the CD talked with me. at this point, Life, I don't have a line on my face. But yes, I do not look 20.

Oh, that sucks. What I would really like to say (but absolutely never would) in a situation like that is, I have a vast interest/knowledge of movies/music/culture/have lived a lot of places, and am likley ten times cooler than you younger dorks. Plus I am in better physical shape, and have way more fashion sense than you. But yeah, you're 30, so you are probably a better judge of the work. 😳
Haha 41 in real life, 38 on linked in with an ai manipulated photo to look younger.
