I've seen articles that say to eliminate the years of experience on your resume to try and not show your age.
So, On my resume I have: "25+ years experience developing systems ....." and some articles say to change it to something like: "Experienced at developing systems..." to not show age.
However, I let them know up front my experience....and they can guess my age. I don't want to get all dressed up in a suit and tie, drive somewhere for an interview and then get eliminated for age.
Why hide it?
Any ideas or comments?
***My suggestion is to put your picture on your CV***
I would NEVER get hired anywhere.....
Aahhh, Nick!
You made me laugh, mate! Perhaps putting the picture on the CV is not such a good idea, then!
I put my picture on so they know what theyre getting - No surprises!
Chaps,
I'm of a certain age now - plus 50 - and I show all my experience on my CV. I think it lends gravitas and dignity :-)
To be honest I don't wanna work for kids unless they want to hire someone with experience.
I didn't start in IT until my late 20s, so they think I'm in my 40s anyway.
