Seeing all the numbers together like that seems a bit cluttered. Instead we should use display month names or at least the abbreviated form?

Various references for this.

Workable advise specifying DD so that ATS systems can clearly see it's a date. However, most other sources don't offer the same advice, and some even discourage it as too much unnecessary information.

I'd prefer to avoid DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY as in most cases these are ambiguous anyway.


For now, I'll settle on MMM YYYY as I think it looks nicer.

While we're at it, let's also wrap dates in a time element and add the associated datetime attribute.
