Re: Is this correct to put in resume?

["T.W. Smith" <techwordsmith -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Traditionally, you are right.

But for those employers who focus on the resume and not the cover
letter, this is a good up-front place to put it.

Because, my fear would be that the employer would be turned off by a
non-local candidate automatically ... and such a statement up front
would have the best chance of fixing that.
