When writing your phone number on a resume, it's important to present it in a professional and easily readable format. Here's a common format to follow:
(555) 555-5555
In this format, the first set of parentheses encloses the area code, followed by the next three numbers separated by a hyphen, and finally the last four numbers separated by another hyphen. This format makes it easy for recruiters and hiring managers to quickly identify and accurately record your phone number.
When writing your phone number on your resume, make sure it's a number where you can be easily reached. Consider using a professional voicemail message and answering machine to ensure that you are presenting a professional image to potential employers.
