Contact Information

At the top of your resume, you need to include the following information:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Telephone Number(s)
  • E-mail address

Mailing Address

If you have a temporary living situation, such as living on campus during a school year, you may want to include a temporary address as well as a more permanent address.

Telephone and E-mail

The telephone numbers and e-mail addresses are critical, so make sure they are correct and are numbers or addresses you check regularly.

The message you leave for a busy signal or voicemail needs to sound appropriate! Don't use a small child's voice on your voicemail. Also make sure your e-mail address is professional (don't use something like “HotBabe@hotmail.com”). This will NOT work for you!

The format of the contact information section can vary. Try different styles to see which one works best for you.

Examples

Contact information with the name left-justified and the address right-justified.

Contact information with both the name and address centered on the page.

Contact information with the name and email address centered at the top, and two addressess both left and right justified below.
