Bug description:
  To replicate:

  1. Create a new user
  2. Go to Content -> Resume -> Introduction
  3. Fill in a "Place of birth" and leave all other fields empty.
  4. Click "Save"
  5. Navigate away from this page (for instance, by going to "Dashboard")
  6. Navigate back to Content -> Resume -> Introduction

  Expected Result: Because no birth date was filled in, the birthdate
  field should still be empty

  Actual Result: the birth date field will show "Jan 1, 1970"

  It would appear that what's going on here is that the field that
  displays it is interpreting the null value from the database as a 0,
  and so it's displaying the Unix 0 epoch as your birthdate.
