Wait who puts their birthday on a resume?
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.
Why did sex become illegal ?
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.
It was double sense joke... But thx for serious answer .
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.
People probably don't care where you went to high school, but they probably care if you have a degree and when you got it. Most people go to university within a few years of finishing high school.
According to US statistics, "overall college enrollment rate of 18- to 24-year-olds (ages in which students traditionally enroll in college) was 38 percent in 2021".
So if by "most people" you mean, "less than half" then yes you are correct.
Most people who have a higher education degree. I thought that was implied as you even mentioned it in your comment "ages in which students traditionally enroll in college".
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.
who doesn't?
I have never, ever put my birthday or age on a CV. Fuck that.
You act like we're talking about peepee lengths. Doesn't age seem something very relevant to consider when hiring someone?
I hardly see why it's relevant at all, no. It's like a fucking kids painting putting your age on there lmfao.
that comparison doesn't make sense at all
Timmy, age 5.
How is it relevant? Why should an employer care about your? All they should care about if you can do your job or not. It's also illegal in many places around the world to make a decision based on someones age.
I don't even have my age on mine.
