Composing a Resume: Heading

The heading information on a resume is used by an employer to contact you. List your name at the top of the page. The heading should be slightly larger than the text of your resume. List your full address, zip code, email address, and telephone number with area code. Your email address should be a professional one, such as firstname.lastname@gmail.com. If your email address is not professional, use any of several email services to create a professional email address, such as Yahoo! or Gmail.
