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 that one that reflects a special
interest or a nickname.
For example, the following would be
considered inappropriate:
sexylady@net.net
savethewhales@net.net
pinballchamp@net.net
overthehillgal@net.net
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.  Scanner-Friendly
