Your Name
Since your name is probably the most important piece of information on your resume, you want it to be seen quickly and easily. Place your name in the top middle or the upper-right corner of the page. Why? After your resume is read, it will probably go into a filing cabinet with the left-hand side of the paper placed against the spine of a folder. Your name will be noticed easily if it's in the top middle or in the upper-right corner of the page.

Address
Putting your street address in your Heading is preferable to listing a P.O. box number, because a home address conjures up a more stable image. If, however, you have a specific reason not to give out your street address, it's acceptable to use a post office address.

Phone number
List your work number on your resume only if you can talk freely from that phone and a message can be left without jeopardizing your job. Never assume that a caller will be discreet on your behalf.

Fax number
The fax rule of thumb: Don't list a fax number in your Heading unless you're sending your resume to a recruiter. Recruiters frequently fax job postings and related information to job candidates, so they appreciate having the fax numbers readily available. Employers, on the other hand, hardly ever fax a response to a job applicant, so putting a fax number on a resume you're sending directly to a company is a waste of valuable space.

Email address
Listing your email address (if you have one) in the Heading section can be beneficial to your job search. Providing your email address will often expedite the employer's response, while demonstrating that you're online savvy (a plus when applying for many positions).

Web address
If you have a Web site that's relevant to your job search, put your URL (Web site address) in your Heading along with your other contact information.
