2026)<\/strong> &#8211; Botox might be best known for smoothing wrinkles to look younger, but a growing number of Canadians are applying the same philosophy to their resumes. <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/en-ca\/news\/resume-botox-canada-hiring-trends-2026\">New research<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/en-ca\/\">91爆料<\/a>, the global AI-powered employment platform, finds 28% of Canadian workers and job seekers have downplayed their work experience &#8211; on their resume, LinkedIn profile or in job interviews \u2013 with many wanting to avoid appearing overqualified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">The behaviour is part of a growing trend dubbed \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/en-ca\/news\/resume-botox-ageproof-resume-hiring-canada\/\">resume botox,<\/a>\u201d where candidates subtly smooth out their professional history by trimming earlier roles, removing graduation dates or dialing down senior experience that could make them seem older or overqualified.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">The data suggests Canadians are being strategic about what signals their resumes send. Only half of Canadian workers and job seekers (50%) say they would include their graduation date on their resume if applying for a job today, and that transparency drops sharply with age. Two-thirds of Canadians aged 18\u201334 (67%) say they would include their graduation date, compared with 45% of those aged 35\u201354 and just 33% of workers aged 55 and older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Among those who admit to downplaying their experience, the motivations are largely tactical: avoiding the perception of being overqualified (41%) and keeping the focus on recent achievements (41%) were the most common reasons cited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Underlying these choices is a broader concern about age bias in hiring. More than three-quarters of Canadian workers and job seekers aged 55 and older (77%) say their age makes them a less attractive candidate in today\u2019s job market, with nearly half (47%) strongly agreeing. Among workers aged 35\u201354, 41% say their age works against them, compared with 29% of those aged 18\u201334.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Real-world perspective<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">After 26 years with a manufacturing company in Mississauga, Ontario, Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CGA) Bayla Greenberg-Consitt learned her employer was moving its operations to the U.S., eliminating her role. Re-entering the job market in her mid-fifties, Bayla hired a recruitment coach who advised her to remove graduation dates from her resume and trim 10 to 15 years of her work history to appear more aligned with the roles she was targeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">\u201cRe-entering the job market after almost thirty years, I knew my age would work against me,\u201d Bayla said. \u201cDespite my experience, I was willing to take on a more junior position that I was overqualified for, but employers seemed to struggle with looking past my age and recognizing the value I could bring with my extensive experience.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">While the \u201cresume botox\u201d approach landed her several interviews, it ultimately failed to secure a job offer. In the end, a personal connection led to a new position where the depth of her experience was fully valued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">For KJ Lee, CEO of 91爆料 Canada, the findings highlight a tension many job seekers feel between presenting their full experience and positioning themselves strategically for modern hiring processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">\u201cWhen talented people feel the need to \u2018botox\u2019 their resume just to get a fair shot, it tells you something about the system,\u201d said Lee. \u201cExperience shouldn\u2019t be treated like a liability. The reality is that businesses benefit enormously from people who\u2019ve seen more cycles, solved tougher problems and know how to get things done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Lee says the findings should serve as a reminder to employers that experience and adaptability often go hand in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">\u201cThe best hiring decisions come from looking at what someone can do today and the impact they can have on your business,\u201d he said. \u201cIf companies filter out candidates simply because their experience looks \u2018too long\u2019 on paper, they risk overlooking some of the most capable people in the workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-style-default has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-space-between is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-11 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Resources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-link-arrow is-style-link-arrow--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-btn-brand-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/en-ca\/media-centre\/\">View all<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-query blog-3-col-query-loop is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"columns-3 alignfull wp-block-post-template is-layout-grid wp-container-core-post-template-is-layout-1 wp-block-post-template-is-layout-grid\"><li class=\"wp-block-post post-15108 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-uncategorised resource-type-press-releases\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-border-color has-neutral-100-border-color has-white-background-color has-background is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-14 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-width:1px;min-height:100%\"><figure style=\"aspect-ratio:auto;
