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:
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.
