| Feb 26, 2016 at 17:48 | comment | added | Masked Man | @TheMathemagician Sorry about that, my comment wasn't directed to you specifically (even though I mentioned you there), it was meant to be a response to the reason you mentioned. You are correct in your explanation of why this happens, my response was to state why this shouldn't be happening. | |

| Feb 26, 2016 at 10:53 | comment | added | Masked Man | @TheMathemagician The OP is from Argentina, not US. Even if he were from US, that is no justification for downvoting. Voting is not meant to indicate one's agreement with the question. People are free to vote based on any whim but I just wanted to point out that they should use votes more responsibly (or else this is another Quora in the making). Also if people don't know about the work practices in another country, they should just refrain from voting. What do engineers do when someone asks them for medical advice, for example? | |
| Feb 26, 2016 at 10:28 | comment | added | TheMathemagician | @MaskedMan Because in the USA it's very unusual so they downvote on reflex. In Europe it's normal. | |
| Feb 26, 2016 at 8:21 | comment | added | Masked Man | Why does this question deserve 2 downvotes? It shows reasonable effort, it is useful and clear. Don't go downvoting questions just because you don't agree with the content, which in this case, is based on your limited worldview restricted to a single country. | |

| Feb 25, 2016 at 23:57 | comment | added | enderland | Like @Jake said, this really depends on country. In the USA? Nearly no reason to put it on your resume. But in Germany, when I was proofreading CVs nearly all of them had their birthday on them - if you look up German CV examples nearly all have a place for this. I'd recommend editing your question to include your country because of the impact country has on things like this. | |
| Feb 25, 2016 at 23:49 | comment | added | user29055 | Which country are you in? That makes a material difference to the answer. | |

| Feb 25, 2016 at 23:28 | comment | added | CKM | Perhaps this is off-topic, but there's no need to include your age or birthday on your resume. During the application process and background check they obtain this information casually. | |
