You need to make sure that you can be reached.
It is very important to update all of your contact information every time that it changes. This shows your credibility, your interest in finding a job, and your reliability. You want to make sure that a potential employer can reach you to schedule an interview or give you the job offer!
You should make sure to list any new cell phone number, home phone number, school phone number, work phone number, home e-mail address, school e-mail address, work e-mail address, permanent home address, mailing address, school address, or work address. If you do not want to provide your home, school, or work information, then make sure that you do have at least one phone number, one e-mail address, and one mailing address listed. You should update this information on your resume, LinkedIn profile, Facebook profile, other social media websites, and with any potential employers that you have applied to.
Don’t forget to make sure that the people listed as your references and recommendations have your current contact information as well. They may have a question for you or no longer be able to assist you. You do not want a potential employer contacting an overwhelmed CEO of your last company and hearing that he could not reach you to remove his name or list his new assistant’s information instead of his direct line.
Lastly, you should make sure that you have the correct contact information for any references listed on your resume or social media profiles. If your former supervisor has a new assistant, has recently moved, or has left the company, then you need to make sure that she can be reached.
