How do you write your address on one line on a resume?

Here’s how you write your address on one line on a resume:

1. Keep it as short as possible

Include only your street address, city, state abbreviation, and zip code.

The longer you format your address, the more likely it will spill onto a second line. So abbreviate whenever you can (e.g., “North” as “N.”, “Road” as “Rd.”, and “Massachusetts” as “MA”). You can also opt to leave out your street address and zip code and only include your city and state.

2. Try reducing your font size

For the rest of your resume, you shouldn’t use a font size smaller than 10 points, but your contact details can be slightly smaller if necessary — around 8 points.

If you change the font size of your address, use the same font size for your other contact details: phone, email address, and any professional profiles (e.g., LinkedIn and your online portfolio).

3. Use a resume with a one-line address field
