Should I include my availability in my resume?

When you submit your resume to a company, it means that you are available for interview. Including your availability in your resume is not necessary unless you are a very busy professional as a senior member of a company. To explain this in more detail, you can presume that if you are a CPA and working as a General Manager or as a Vice-President of a company who is currently managing all the departments of your company. So making yourself available for the interview can be specified at the end of your resume with the fact that, you must allocate time for the interview.

Therefore except for senior members, junior position resumes need not state about availability.  This is important to know because, some times if you specify about your availability, your resume may go unnoticed and you will miss an opportunity to get close to job.

Whereas cover letter can include about your availability so that employer will make a note of it and will also appreciate your effort in saving time to call you between the time you have specified.

Going through resumes and short-listing resumes is a very huge task for HR manager. Time being considered as very precious, if you provide your availability in cover letter, it is highly appreciated.

Providing most relevant information that is required for the job will definitely enlist your name in interview. 

Making yourself available is really important when you have submitted your resume. If you have applied for one or more jobs, you need to more carefully by keeping your phone free from keeping it busy and you also need to check your mail regularly so that you do not miss any email interview calls or skype interviews.

Since mobile phone, email, skype, facebook, twitter, linkedin  and other social media are a very good platform for contacting people online, making yourself available online will definitely help you to catch up with the latest interviews and you will be able to attend these and get a good job placement to your entire satisfaction and also success.
