What's in a name?
The heading should consist of your name and your contact information.
Bold and CAPITALIZE your name.
Include your mailing address — avoid using P.O. boxes.
Include e-mail addresses and URLs.
Include day and evening phone numbers. If you are not comfortable being contacted during the day, leave a telephone number that has an answering machine or voicemail.
Avoid titles such as Mr., Mrs., PhD., and MBA. At best, these designations put distance between you and your audience. In the worst case, prospective employers might interpret these titles as snobbish or elitist. Your educational background will be readily apparent from your resume and your marital status is no one's business.
