  Me, why shouldn’t one do that? But my last resume is 10 years old, maybe I am out of touch with all the mumbo jumbo dancing you have to do, to build the “right” resume.

    Many places now, that might be illegal to ask for, like race and sex.

        Well you can’t make a hiring decision on that basis in most places unless you have a reason. What constitutes “a reason” being variable. Generally if you are prohibited from making a decision on a certain factor, you may not ask about it during an interview.

        Sex discrimination can be constituted by various things. For example asking about maritial status, children, plans for pregnancy, soliciting sexual favors, etc. Also in some places, if you thought someone might be trans, you could not ask them about that.

    Don’t put your age. It can lead to unintentional (or intentional) age discrimination and it’s better for your experience to be the focus.

    Age isn’t a factor in hiring, so there’s no need to put it on there. It could only be a detriment to the applicant.

      It’s generally not hard to figure out someone’s age if their work and education history is listed

        Some of us don’t clutter up our resumes with every job we’ve ever had. My resume lists nothing irrelevant to my current career. I was well into adulthood at that time. Who cares where I went to highschool? It demonstrates respect for the time of the person tasked with reading a stack of resumes to not waste their time.

    Unless you are trying to get a job with min/max age requirements, like airline pilot or us president, age provides no valuable information to potential employer other than a factor to illegally discriminate on.

    Personally, I would say it shouldn’t matter.

    I wouldn’t want to know the birth date of a person I was interviewing, and there’s no need for my interviewer to know mine.

  It wasn’t on their résumé it was on their LinkedIn.

  Although now the question becomes, why would you put your DOB on LinkedIn, which I have no idea.

    I just looked at my LinkedIn and don’t see anywhere that birthday is even displayed. This is clearly fake.
