It is not necessary to include your birth date or age on your resume. In fact, including this information can potentially limit your job opportunities or create unconscious bias, as some employers may make hiring decisions based on your age.

Instead of including your birth date, focus on showcasing your relevant work experience, skills, education, and achievements. These are the factors that will be most important to potential employers, and they will be more likely to make a hiring decision based on these factors.

In conclusion, it is best to leave your birth date off your resume, and instead focus on highlighting your qualifications and experience that are relevant to the job you are applying for.
