question

For most of your career, having more experience than other candidates will boost job chances. But when you're likely decades older than anyone in the office, will concealing your age help you get a foot in the door?

Hello,

I worked for the first half of my career in communications and, for the rest of my career up to retirement, as an English teacher. Because of the wide variety and the time I’ve worked, my résumé is lengthy. How do I get all of my skills and experience across without length and without putting in dates, since there is so much ageism out there?

Thanks, Nancy
