In today’s world 90% of people apply for a job by electronically submitting their resume either through a website or by emailing it to a recruiter such as me.   The first thing that happens to your resume after you click send is that it goes into a database.    I actually read every resume that comes across my desk however many recruiters don’t.   

What happens is that the recruiter gets a job order and then searches their data base for the right candidate.  When they find that candidate they will usually email and/ or call the candidate to set up an interview.   The kicker is that if you don’t have your address on your resume then the database software can’t find you so that the recruiter knows to call and email you.  The most important information to put on your resume is your name and contact information (address, phone number and personal email address).  Without these you will not get the job.
