Physical/Email Address
In addition to your street address, including your
city, state and zip, it's important to include an
email address. With today's technology, a hiring
manager most often contacts successful candidates by
phone or by email.
Because of the importance of email correspondence in
a job search, it's wise to choose an email address
that is businesslike in tone, rather than one that
reflects a special interest or a nickname.
For example, the following would be considered
inappropriate:
Another important piece of advice is to avoid using
work-related email addresses. Hiring managers are
rarely interested in interviewing someone who is
using their current employer's time or email system
to look for another job.
The key is: Always be professional
Phone Numbers
It's sometimes wise to include a cell phone number
along with your home phone number, especially if
that's your easiest point of contact. However, be
certain of the quality of your cell phone and
service provider before offering the number.
Nothing is more frustrating to a hiring manager than
to conduct a cell phone conversation through static
and breaks in conversation due to poor technology.
In modern resumes, fax numbers are rarely provided.
Most hiring managers will not fax an interview
request to prospective candidates.
Never include current work phone numbers in your
scannable resume. Hiring managers think poorly of
candidates who use a current employer's time to
search for new opportunities.
