When you are e-mailing or faxing your resume to a prospective employer, is it neccessary to put your address on the resume?
What about in case of online resume submitted at some job search sites?
Of course, phone # would be needed, but not sure about the need to put down my address.

In most cases you want to follow a standard resume format unless the employer's website has a different layout or form.
The address is part of the heading of a resume and it is good to include it.

I am actually job searching right now since I just moved out of state...I have made kind of like a "stationary"..well not really but both my cover sheet and my resume have the same basic info on them...at the top (centered) of the page there is my name in bold and then under that my address and then phone number..then a line under that..(for both email and fax or even mail) it looks very professional and nice..then whatever you put together under that! i have already had 3 phone calls back and i submitted them 2 days ago! one manager of a bank even said that he was very impressed w/my resume so i must be doing something right! ;) good luck!

They will probably print out your resume, so all of your contact information should be on it. If you are filling in blanks on a job search site it will probably get put together into a resume by the site, but if you're uploading your resume, it should include your contact info.

It is not necessary, but is a good idea. Because with cell phones you have no idea if someone is local, they may think you're local and you're expecting a relocation package. If you don't want them to know where you live, rent a post office box number and use that.
I know that if I'm hiring in Colorado and one resume is from Washington state, they'd better be darned overqualified for me to spring for their relocation fees .

Ignore all other answers. Make sure you send a coversheet Then your resume. Coversheet will include all you contact details and your name. You can get templates for coversheets off the internet. Try looking in google for "Resume Coversheet"

Kepp your address on it just like you would if you were handing it in person. If you are emailing your resume, your email is the cover letter so dont forget to sell yourself !

Best to put down your address so they can send you stuff without having to ask you for your address.
