When building your resume, dates can be an essential element that shows hiring managers how many years of experience you have. They can also tell employers how recently you graduated, how long youve been an active member of an association or how long youve held a relevant certification.

Do I have to put dates on my CV?

You must include resume dates to show the details of your experience. But— Dont worry that resume dates will give away your age or make you look overqualified (or underqualified). Add dates on resumes for jobs, education, internships, certifications, and memberships.
