I'd like some input on this. My resume ends with my earliest job experience which was 12 years at IBM as an SE. The problem is that since the dates on that are 1969 - 1981, a potential employer can easily calculate my age range and decide, sight unseen, that I'm too old. (I'm wiser and more intellectually energetic now than I was at 40, by the way.)If you think they'd exclude you due to your age by scanning your resume, why do you think they wouldn't do the same thing during the interview phase?
Do we think that maybe I should start my resume job history in, say, 1981 (making me appear to be a lad of 40+) and forget about all that good experience at Big Blue (at least until I get the prospective job)?
