February 17, 2021 - BCPL Resume Tips

Brooke County Libraries Resume Tip #4

There's no need to include company's full addresses on your resume.


Some people try to cram the entire street address of their former employers onto their CV. And that's mostly a holdover from the days of mail and hometown contacts. Including a general location is plenty of information in today's age of internet maps. Just throw on the City and State instead of the full details.


If there is the space to include full employer addresses or maybe your work history is sparse, by all means. Including them does not hurt but it's important to make your best use of a one-page summary of yourself.


What if the location is important? Maybe you moved recently? Maybe you quit your last job because of the commute? Never fear. Your employer is sure to ask about your commute concerns and you can better represent them in conversation than on page. Your past job locations are easier to explain or even brag about with your voice.


If you have any resume questions or need job application help, your local library is here to help!
