Personal Details
It is suggested that you don’t use a heading to provide this information. Simply centre the information at the top of the first page of your resume as follows:
Your name Address Telephone number/s
For example: Florence Nightingale 123 Main Road, Outback S.A. 5876 Telephone (08) 1234 5678 |
Some tips about personal details information:
- It isn’t usually necessary to provide details of your age or marital status.
- If you have a non-Anglo name you might want to consider including a sub heading like “Residency Status:” and then indicate Australian citizen, or Australian Permanent Resident.
- Have a professional sounding email address. Email addresses such as hotchick@abc.com or stanthestud@abc.com will not do much to enhance your professional image.
- Review your voice message so that you sound professional. For example, a curt or bored “Hi, leave a message” or perhaps some sort of wacky greeting will also have a poor impact on your image.
