Adding Your name and contact information

It might seem obvious, but job seekers sometimes forget a key piece of contact information in this section. Double check and make it as easy as possible for recruiters to contact you for a job interview.

The top of your resume should include:

1. Name
2. Phone number
3. Location
4. Email Address
5. LinkedIn profile URL

1. Include a personal phone number, never a work number.
2. You don’t need to include your full address but do add your city, state, and zip code. Recruiters often search for local candidates first.
3. Use a professional sounding email address. Consider creating a free Gmail account for your job search if you currently use a more outdated email service.
4. Create a strong LinkedIn profile and be sure to include the URL on your resume.
