I was hired by a CPA once many years ago and he told me NEVER to put my age on a resume...I thought it was a positive that I was still in the game and had great work experience behind me. Just giving dates of prior employment would be a clue to anyone’s age, I would think!

I agree. I removed the graduation dates from my degrees for the same reason.

Toughest change I ever went through was at 55. What I landed after that was the highest pay, the best position and lasted me to retirement but it took over a year.

Agree. I also remove graduation/degree and professional registration, licence & certification years from the engineer resumes I manage to avoid age discrimination.
