Not necessarily. If you list say 15 years of experience and a degree with no date, the reader will assume you are "at least 37". We're just trying to get an interview here - when you show up they'll have a better understanding of your actual age (in most cases), but at that point they're committed to the interview and hopefully the candidate performs well enough where age won't be a factor in any decisions.

And you can just use a different style of CV that doesn't use the chronological layout.

Something like a functional resume can do a good job in masking age a bit, but typically we still need to list employers, titles, and years.
