Help A Friend In Confusion About His Age! by NELBREN: 4:38am On Oct 28, 2014
I graduated 'late', later did my Masters and is now 30 - 31 yrs old with good grades though. It is quite obvious that my age has fallen outside most of the recruiters' age requirement. Is it better for me to remove anything concerning my age in my CV (even when I obtained my certificates) or leave it?

Do not bicker; only friendly and useful pieces of advice please!

"Why answer a question that was not asked?"

If you feel your age holds you back then don't reference it. Only if your to-be employers ask would it be okay to disclose your age.

You may want to retain your age but take off the graduation dates that is if you were working and studying at the same time. With that your experience may be the added advantage.
