Here's another post for the not-as-obvious-as-you-think files. What to include for the applicant's identifying information in a resume has become an issue for people who feel they are entitled to confidentiality. I have heard a quite a few say they need not include their address or phone number.
But they should. Transparency is a big part of job applications. Some fields require full disclosure of investments because of competition considerations. Others demand to know for conflict of interest purposes whether the applicant coaches a little league team (the team may play in the employers' right of way), serves on an association board (the board's policies may be at odd with the employer's goals), or performs summer missionary work (the period may occur during the employer's peak season). For these reasons and to facilitate applicant-employer communication, include everything: your address, land line, mobile number, and, of course, email address.
What about including in the resume social media, such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook? If you are using these outlets for business purposes (as I do), include these contact points as well. Many say their social media information is their business only, and many a judge have agreed with this sentiment. Nevertheless, social media is fair game for background checks, so what are you hiding? Include those too if you use them to promote your professional image.
