Wise Mumsnetters please can you give me some advice.
DS2 is updating his CV. He just beginning to look for a second job (graduated 18 months ago) and is currently in employment in a coastal city on a two year graduate training scheme.
For various reasons (mostly pay) is unlikely to want to stay with current employer when the scheme ends. They give him fab feedback but the prospects are not so great.
He would be happy to move back to London or stay in coastal city. He has read somewhere that it is not a good idea to put your home address (currently the coastal city) on your CV as the fact that you don't live in the city that the (new) job is in it will put off a potential employer.
My view is that young people are known to be mobile and an employer won't care two hoots if you live in the city where the job is located or not.
I also think that not to put any address on your CV, which is his plan, (just email/mobile and linkedin details) looks dodgy!
It's for office based jobs if that helps.
Who is right, me or DS2?

Can it be unwise to put your home address on your CV when job hunting?
