How to Write a Resume Headline

Resume headlines, or headers, are the first thing a recruiter or hiring manager will see on your resume, and it only takes a few minutes to write

Write a Resume Header

Your Name

The first step for any resume header is to include your name at the top. Include your legal name, not just a nickname

The next step is to include your contact information. You’ll want to include a phone number and an email address that a hiring manager can use
