Designing a Modern Resume Header: Examples and Best Practices

Keep it Compact

Don't let your header take up 25% of the page. Use columns or a single line with separators to save vertical space.

What to Include

Name (Big), Phone, Email, LinkedIn, Portfolio. Full address is usually unnecessary; City, State is fine.

Visual Hierarchy

Your name should be the largest text on the page. Everything else should be smaller but legible.
