About Kit Samuels Resume Writing Service:
Kit Samuels, a professional resume writer with over 10 years of experience developing high-quality resumes and cover letters, understands that with so much competition flooding the job market, you need professional resume writing that stands out--resume writing that is clear, readable, and that effectively highlights your most significant career and educational achievements. Resume writing that ultimately grabs the attention of employers and results in a job interview, which leads to the position you want most. High-quality, professional resume writing is definitely something you need in this increasingly competitive job market.
As ridiculously simple as this might sound, if you’d like to get phone calls for interviews, you have to include your phone number. I’m not joking, I’ve actually seen, not one, but several resumes, more than I should have, ones that were even great, but without phone numbers.
So that said, be absolutely sure that you include your correct contact information. Take the time to go over it, because you never know—any one of us could accidentally type in a wrong digit in our telephone number, or an incorrect letter in our email address. It’s an honest mistake, and it happens. So comb through your resume, making sure it’s all correct, and never think you’re being too careful.
And while you’re at it, be sure to give a phone number that you can easily be reached at, preferably without voicemail interference. Some employers may take the time to leave a message, but then there are those that won’t, no matter how interested in you they might have been.
Another thing—be sure that your correct contact information is on your cover letter, and on all pages of your resume. So where would you place contact info on a possible page 2 of your resume? At the very top of page 2, you can place your name, address, phone # and email, in a #8 or #9 sized font. This is good to do, because at times, pages can get shuffled around. This way, if any of your pages are lost or separated, you’ll always have contact information on every page, no matter what.
Here’s an example of what I described:
