I do not include my contact details on my CV because these days you are normally either applying for the job online or through an agency and you have to give them your details anyway.

The gentleman on the call introduced himself as a consultant with a well-known local staffing agency who had reviewed the resume I had uploaded to the organization's website. Event planning could also figure into that category. General, but true and perhaps better than just saying that I helped lead a customer-facing event, period.

I found every single one of my jobs through a temping agency or by referral. I learned through informational interviews that I should apply to temp agencies. The important thing I learned is, he’s an event planner, he hosts parties, he meets lots of people, and to him, the fact that I sent a thank you card said something about me.
