The other answer and comments miss the point. There are many ways to determine age, gender, and heritage that have nothing to do with stating something like “I am a black woman who is 55.” Plenty of other info can reveal it. **Gender** - Don’t put any gender specific activism on your resume as volunteering - Use a gender neutral short form of your name. “Sam” over “Samantha” - Try to fill in one year long gaps with something (if you quit to take maternity leave or something). **Age** - Don’t put your graduation dates on your resume. - Don’t include all the jobs going back to the beginning. - Use a less stuffy and traditional resume and one which has a little bit of colour (not a lot, but perhaps a blue dividing line instead of black). Also use a nice template. **Heritage** - Can’t do much about your last name unless you change it - Avoid listing languages if they are not relevant to the position. Saying you know Farsi pegs you as Iranian. Urdu as Pakistani. - Drop job locations from your resume. - Have a native speaker of your location proofread it and add the appropriate local names for things and check for unusual word choices.
