However, if you're over 40, I can't help but feel that it can be used to eliminate potential candidates due to age. I, personally, have also eliminated information from my resume that may allude to my being over 40, such as older jobs I've held and graduation years. Although it's illegal to discriminate, I feel it's being done anyway. If you’re in your 20s or 30s a photo is a good idea.

Its a useful site for people to meet others in their industry and keep a pulse on the hiring landscape -- where people are getting interviews, who's extending offers, etc. -A Excellent post — I hadn’t really thought about all the keyword searches and how they funnel people into the recruiting databases, but its definitely important.
