How to Write Contact Details on a Resume
Contact details are small, but a typo there can prevent a recruiter from reaching you. Put your name prominently near the top, followed by an email address you check, a reachable phone number, and a location appropriate to the application. Include professional links only when their destination is ready for review.
What to do
-
Use a clear email address and verify that your phone number includes the correct country code when applying internationally. Test each website, portfolio, and repository link.
-
A city and region are often enough to communicate location. Provide a full street address only if the application specifically requires it; avoid sharing more personal information than needed.
-
Make link labels readable rather than pasting several long tracking URLs. Confirm that the name and location on linked profiles do not conflict with the resume.
Example
A concise header might read “Asha Rao · Bengaluru, India · [email protected] · +91 98… · portfolio.example”. Use your real, verified details rather than this sample.
Before submitting, open every link and send yourself a test email to check that the address is spelled correctly.
