Always include your address and phone number on a resume
A trend that I noticed on several resumes submitted via the internet was no phone number listed on the resume. I’ve even seen a few resumes that don’t have a physical address. These candidates thought that they could communicate via email with the potential new employer. Bad idea. There’s just something unsettling when you see a resume with only an email address as the contact information. If you’re in between addresses or cell phones then use a family member’s address and phone number as your contact information, along with your email address. You can explain to the hiring manager your situation when you get to the interview. And there are some valid reasons why you might not have a permanent phone number or physical address - maybe you’ve just finished up your college education and are looking for an apartment at the same time you’re seeking employment. Legitimate reasons for not having a permanent address and/or phone number. People can become curious, or even suspicious, if you say you don’t have a phone number. Avoid this pitfall and use the phone number of a family member or trusted friend. They can change their greeting to state you’ve reached (fill in the blank) phone number and we are unable to take your call right now. Please leave your name and number and we will return the call. Just be sure to ask the person if you can use their phone number!
