Career Tip

Put your full address on your resume. Candidates sometimes only list their phone number and email address. Corporate recruiters find this frustrating because it is not clear if the candidate even lives in the U.S. I and other recruiters regularly get flooded by unsolicited resumes from overseas. A friend of mine said, "I cannot tell if this guy lives in India or Indianapolis! One of my corporate clients will not accept resumes that do not include a full mailing address. If recruiters cannot tell where you live, they are less likely to respond to your resume or to keep you in mind the next time they have an opening in your state. Furthermore, some companies like to mail material to a candidate before their on-site interview.
