The first line of your resume is your name – always! Use your formal name. Include a nickname only if it is a shortened form of your formal name (Bill for William, Sue for Susan, etc.) or if it is a name by which others at work have always known you and the name you want to be called if you land the job (Red, Doc, etc).

email address
Pay particular attention to your email address. Use only a “normal” or “plain” email address. Don’t use an email address that makes you look weird, dangerous or like you might be a distraction to the workforce, such as: maddog@hotmail.com, redhotmama@yahoo.com, killmyboss@aol.com. If you don’t have a plain email address, get a free one from yahoo, hotmail, or one of the other free services.
