Tip 107: Contact Info and Space

Reviewers will begin reading your resume from the upper left corner of the page to the bottom right corner. The likelihood of them reading a detail decreases as the go down the page. Use that precious space at the top of the page to list things like a resume summary, programming languages that you know, or major accomplishments.

Edwin, an anthropomorphic jackrabbit, is wearing a business casual outfit and has a grumpy expression on his face. He gives job searching tips by speaking directly to the reader using a dialogue bubble. Edwin says,
"Putting your name at the top of your resume is important, but it should not take up much of the page. I have seen as much as 20% of the page taken up by personal information (e.g., name, address, email, phone) and blank space. The top portion of the front page of your resume is prime real estate for listing key details. Use it wisely!"
