Should date of birth and or citizenship be included in a resume or curriculum vitae?

Answer 1

No one is allowed to ask for your age when you are applying for a job. Some items will give clues... like the year you graduated from high school and how old most people are when they graduate. I also don't think that your citizenship should be placed on your resume, but most jobs require proof that you are able to work in the US before they will hire you. Date of birth should not be included in a resume, however citizenship or alien status should be. Since getting a residency under EB-2 category takes 3 years or more, it is important for a person why could not move or got a better job. Please note that in some countries, for example in most European countries, it is absolutely standard to give one's date of birth and citizenship in one's resume.
