I'm working remotely for some company headquartered in city X, but I work in city Y. When I list this job on a resume, should I list it under

ACME Inc, city X

or

ACME Inc, city Y

Put where YOU are, not the company head office. Or both.

You could put:

ACME Inc, city Y (Head Office city X)

If you aren't in X, regardless of where you are remoting to. It's misleading otherwise, especially if it's in another country. There are a couple of good reasons for stating your physical location instead:

• It could lead to the assumption of working visas for somewhere you don't actually have.


• If asked where in city X you are living, you then have to backtrack and state that you actually live in city Y and work remotely to ACME Inc. It's not necessarily a red flag to me as a hiring manager, but it's confusing.

So best to be up front about where you are. Realistically, the location of the office you are remoting to is kind of irrelevant beyond letting any future employers know what market you may be servicing.

  Resume is personal business anyway, unless you're preparing it for company-internal job seeking. Personal address is clearly the right answer.
