When applying for a job you will always be asked to submit, attach, copy & paste or any other way to turn in your resume to review. Now I will say this again and again but not everyone is an amazing resume writer. I will even admit that not even my resume is all that impressive. Depending on what kind of industry, position, and level the job you are applying for resumes are viewed differently. We don't expect an entry level high school graduate to have a resume comparable to someone who have years of experience applying for an executive position. However, one of things that I notice time after time with all of the resumes that I receive regardless of the position that they are applying for is the amount of people who list INCORRECT CONTACT INFORMATION.
Even if your resume was amazing and you are perfect for the job, what good is it if the employer can't contact you?
A lot of times people will list their address, email, and phone number. The most popular way for an employer to contact their candidates is by calling them and this is the most changed information out of the the rest.
Alright some of you may be thinking if your resume is not up to par you may not be contacted. Well you're wrong. Sometimes resumes may not be amazing but when there are a limited number of people applying you just might be contacted to see how well you during the phone interview. Which is where it's your time to shine, but that's a completely different topic. All in all, it comes down to your contact information. If we can't contact you, we can't move forward with you.
I hope this encourages you to TRIPLE check your contact information before submitting your resume because it is commonly overlooked.
Any questions feel free to let me know :)
