Job Applications

[skysidhe]

Aside from the application which must include dates, I was also told, as far as the resume, to be as less conspicuous as possible. Not to go back for 20 years in history because it dates you. I was also told not to give experience that isn't relevant. I balk at that one. I have lots of great irrelevant experience.

I wasn't told when to put in applications prior to graduating.

anonymous, I don't think the purpose is to misrepresent, because during an interview your age and times of employment will come out. I think when someone applies for a job that has high competition for it, a person doesn't want their resume easily pulled because they are old guy/woman.

You want your resume, at a glance, to look not SO much different than the graduating twenty somethings.
