Over 45? Rejuvenate Your Job Search and Get Hired

Tip 1: Cut years off your resume

No matter what your age is, include only relevant experiences on your resume. Hiring managers don't want to wade through unrelated skills or positions to find why you're valuable to them.

This also means you can cut years off your resume. Eliminate older work titles. They are probably not very relevant anyway. If there is some older experience you feel is important but not specifically relevant, leave out the dates and list it among "Other Experience."

There is no need to include your year of graduation. The institution and type of degree will suffice.
