This one shocked me yesterday: a jobseeker had no contact information on their resume. None. Just one of those run of the mill MS Word Templates filled out with no way to get ahold of the applicant. As it turns out, they had a decent resume with good experience, but weren’t bright enough to include a phone number. To make it worse, they had a pretty common name.
Your resume is all about personal branding, and selling yourself. The most important part of this sale is having the employer contact you. Make sure you include several ways for them to contact you: Phone, Email, Mailing Address, or the bowling alley you are using as an office.
This goes right back to my post on having a good email address, phone number, and social media presence.
