If your age and gender is supposed to be private

HR types always got around the age thing by looking at the dates you graduated HS and College.

I never list my HS (I have enough meat in my resume to nt have to go back that far), and I graduated college 11 years after leaving highschool, so I tend to appear younger than I am. I also lok a good bit younger than I actually am. I guess that's both good and bad. Companies like experience that i won't necessarily get credit for, but theyals don' want really old types usually.

Then my mother has an incredible edge - she obtained her associate degree when she was in her 50s! :-)
