Nope, it's never occurred to me to ask that as someone who has interviewed hundreds of people in my his career. If you don't put the dates on your resume, it's highly doubtful anyone would ask unless they could infer it from other things on your resume. One would be if you had a career, stopped it to go to school, and then started your career again. And even then, you can or should be able to easily explain it away. But what really matters is what you know.
