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

Email

 

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.
