Interesting approach. Do you also list prison years to discourage employers
Whenever I see resumes that lists information that could eliminate the candidate which includes easily discernible age for those probably above 40 and possibly younger, I question this person's awareness. I can always provide more information if asked but I don't go out of my way to sabatage my candidacy.
Leaving off information is not dishonest, it is simply practical in today's world. I don't think there are many cases of people successfully suing for not getting an interview based on age discrimination so no one, including HR, is afraid to use age as a culling out factor.
The same would apply to those who are very proud of their political or religious beliefs. It's solely your business if you are also trained in divinity, support GLAAD, are a die-hard NRA fanatic or Libertarian but don't automatically assume everyone is equally open-minded and will not hold it against you somewhere or sometime. It's pretty naive to assume otherwise.
So, proudly stating at the top of your resume you are 65 and seeking a new career in the corporate world is going to be an exercise in futility, valuable only if this is your only exercise.
