Q:  Is it a good idea to include the complete address and phone number of an employer (past or present) on your resume?
 
A: As with any piece of written communication, a resume should be targeted to a particular audience, have a purpose behind it and use a means to organize the content. Your resume should be answering the questions, "Why should I hire you? What value do you add to my organization?" Therefore, anything that is beyond the scope of these questions does not belong on your resume. While you'll want to list who you worked for and the inclusive dates, your employers' addresses become extraneous information. It's just not important enough to place on your resume when there's much more important information that needs to be strategically placed on that real estate.

Q:   What are some guidelines for a Curriculum Vitae/Resumes? Where might I find examples of some formats?
A: I would refer you to some excellent resources to answer your question:
Electronic Resumes and Online Networking by Rebecca Smith
The Academic Job search Handbook, 2nd edition by Mary Morris Heiberger
The Curriculum Vitae Handbook 2nd edition by Rebecca Anthony and Gerald Roe.
 

Q:   If a company requests that I e-mail my resume, what format should I use? Should I enter my resume in the body of the e-mail or can I send it as an attachment? If I send it as an attachment what format should I use?
A: Most now agree you are better off sending your emailed resume in the body of your resume for these reasons:
Many companies request that you don't send attachments.
Some email programs don't support attachments at all.
Attachments can take up a lot of disk space.
Companies can be especially vulnerable to computer viruses from email attachments.
To send your resume in the body of the email message, you can either save it first as a text file (does not support bold, italic or other format conventions - but most email doesn't either) or simply cut and paste your resume into your email message. To do this go to Edit, Select All, Copy and Paste into your email. Using CareerTrip's built in resume storage bypasses all of these problems. All you need to do is send the prospective employer a link back to the site.
 

Q:   I am applying for a position I saw on the Internet. The job description says I must submit salary requirements in order to be considered. What are the pros and cons of doing this? Where should I include my salary requirements?
A: It is often best not to spell out your salary requirements. Sometimes this is just a way for an organization to gather salary information from would-be employees. If you are determined to comply, however, you may say "salary commensurate with job responsibilities" or choose a salary range. If you do include salary information, you would put it in the cover letter, not in the resume.
