Sample Resume Header
The resume
header is where you can input your identification information
(name, address, phone, email). With this section, the potential
employer can get touch with you through post mail, phone call or
email for interview.
NAME
- Use full name
- If you use your middle name instead of your first name,
list name with first initial followed by middle and last
names
- If you use a nickname that might confuse anyone taking a
message for you if your proper name were given, list it
parenthetically - EXAMPLES: Francesca (Chekka) Longfellow or
Jonathan (Jack) Smith.
ADDRESS
- Permanent address is most common
- If you are located internationally and want to provide a
U.S. address, it may be helpful to the employer when
contacting you
- If you have a second address that is located in the
region of the employer, it may help in communicating your
willingness in locating in the region
- If you are a full-time student, you may want to list
both your permanent and local (University) address
- Be sure to check all addresses you provide for an
employer to contact you - you do not want to miss an
opportunity
PHONE OR EMAIL
- Both home and work numbers may be provided (if
appropriate)
- Essential in today's 24/7 world - many recruiters
communicate via email after hours.
- Be sure your email address is professional - one you
would want a prospective employer to read - EXAMPLE:
likes2party@hotmail.com vs. jdoe123@psu.edu
or jdoe@hotmail.com.
WEBSITE URL
- This is optional for many career areas and essential for
others - depending on the involvement of the web with the
position.
- Once again, be sure your domain name is professional -
one you would want a prospective employer to read (see
above), and that your Web site contains professional
information
