We're moving at the end of the year, an event which has, heretofore, thrown a wrench into the jobquest, simply because of the need to revise and reprint resumes and so on. That's not going to happen this year.



[Poll #1478509]


Note that I use the same letterhead on my resume and my cover letters.

Note also that I'm augmenting my usual "email shotgun" approach with personal visits and hand-carried resumes, which is why business cards may or may not be useful.

Get a Gmail address like: firstname.lastname@gmail.com
Make sure your cellphone is a national provider that doesn't lose its number (IE not a trakphone).

Use those two bits of information. The address is secondary. Anyone who wants to get in touch with you will use the cell phone first, and email second, most likely. The only thing you'll receive at the address are things like the offer letter, and you can provide to them a valid address during the offer phone call after the interview.

The reason you want a gmail and a national cellphone is just in case you *do* move - that way you won't be dependent on whatever ISP you have, or location.
