Home Address?

No home addresses on resumes?

When you send your resume to a recruiter please put your full home address the resume. There is a trend currently to omit the address. What’s up, why the secrecy? Let me tell you why we need the address -


  • To mail (yes, using the US Postal service) you a letter when you’ve changed your email address for the 10th time and we cannot reach you.
  • To mail you a letter when your cell/home/work number has changed.
  • To note what your commute would be. How many of you would go from downtown San Diego to downtown LA on a daily basis? We need your address information. Some of our candidates won’t even go past the El Toro Y. (Me, I don’t go outside my 5 mile radius except for a client or a vacation -- we all have our limits.)
Bottom line even with all the new tech out there we sometimes need to go back to basics and mail you a letter. So, please put your address back on your resume. Thanks.
