Resume writing tip: Should you include your full mailing address on your resume?

Our documents do not include the full mailing address, and here are a couple of reasons why.

How many contact numbers for your resume?

Some people have many contact numbers listed on their documents, but what works the best? How many should you have on your cover letter and resume?

Do you know how to send a cover letter and resume?

Okay, so you have spent a few hours creating your cover letter and resume and found a great job. So how do you apply? There are a few options when you are ready to apply for jobs and we will outline some of these below.

Is your email giving away your age?

People are concerned with the idea of perspective employers making assumptions about their age and how well they would perform in the posted role. Should you be concerned?

How you name your cover letter and resume could cause problems (bullying?).

When people send through their documents, either for us to provide a free review, or as part of the writing process, we notice things. These things we notice are really important as we take these into consideration when creating effective documents.

Do I need to write my full address on the cover letter and resume?

Most of the cover letters and resumes we see from clients (their existing documents before we edit them), include their full address, but is this still important to include?
