The first section of your resume should include some personal information about yourself. Try out different styles, font sizes, bold, etc. Remember, you want to stand out - appear unique.
Firstly, your name. Obvious isn't it? But it's suprising how often this detail is forgotten on important documents. If you're in the habit of using your middle name, or middle initial, include that too.
Next, your home address, where you currently reside. A P.O. Box address will not do for the purpose of a resume. A future employer needs to know you have a legitimate address.
Thirdly, You need to be at the end of a telephone when an employer wants to reach you, so include your home phone number and your cell number. If it's ok with your current employer to take personal calls, then include your work number too.
And don't forget your email address - although bigboy@hotmail.com or viagra-dealer@google.com may be a little off putting, so use a more 'professional' sounding email address - sign up for a new if necessary!
