Heading

A Heading on a resume cover letter is used to grab the attention of the recruiter or potential employer.  The heading should provide the reader with a two to five word description of your background or area of expertise.  The heading you chose can be used optionally on either the cover letter and / or resume itself.

The heading should appear on the same line as your name and attempt to define who you are from a career perspective.  For example, if you have worked in the area of budgeting or finance, your heading might be something like:

  • Financial / Business Analyst, or
  • Financial Planning Manager / Finance Executive

Below is an example of a format that can be used for a heading statement appearing at the top of a resume cover letter or the resume itself:

JOHN SMITH                 Financial Planning Manager / Finance Executive
12 Main Street, Your City, NY 10001 (XXX) XXX-XXXX

Other forms of this term include - header, headings
