I am almost 67 years old but I plan to continue working many more years. I am in good health and still think of myself as being young. As a matter of fact, most people I work around think I'm 45-50 years old. The job I'm currently in will probably be over in April due to layoffs. When I put my resume out with the date of graduation and dates with previous employers, I either don't get a response or else I will get an e-mail, stating they have an applicant with better qualifications. I know that isn't true because I have worked 45 years in my field of expertise and have every certification needed in my occupation. I have an excellent work history and have excelled in every job I've held. I am very proactive in keeping current in every aspect of my profession. If I could just get called for an interview, I have no doubt I would be hired. I think the person that reviews the resumes for a particular job sees the date I graduated, and automatically rules me out as being too old. I know they aren't supposed to discriminate due to age, but it happens every day. When posting a resume, is it acceptable to omit dates?
