Older at Work

Older at Work writes:  I'm an older professional in transition and am concerned about not getting an interview or a job because the employer can see how old I am based upon my resume.  Would it be better if I leave dates off of my resume so they don't know that I'm older?

Coach's Answer:  Although age can be a concern in some industries, my answer to clients is to never leave dates off  their resume. I have even spoken to recruiters who agree and state that when you leave dates off of your resume, it triggers a red light and makes them question the omission.  What I do with resume clients is help them market themselves and create a resume where dates are secondary and the transferable skills and experience are the focus to the employer.
