If possible, include all your contact details (e.g. home numbers, postal address, email address, mobile numbers, fax numbers etc.) and put it at the top part of every page in your resume. This is to make sure that your potential employer can contact you by any means he prefers, by phone, email or postal mail. Please do make sure that the contact number you provide is reachable to you, as most HR will only call once or twice to contact you for an interview, and please do return call if you have received any miss call to avoid wasting of chances.
