I'm revisiting my résumé and updating portions that needs updating. I'm stuck at the phone number format. I did a quick Google search and found that the most common format is like this: (+xx) xxx-xxx-xxxx
. I live in Egypt so the international country code is +20.
This implies that the part inside the parens is optional, if you're inside the same country. Here's the problem: if you're dialing from outside Egypt, you dial +20 111-xxx-xxxx
. But, if you're dialing from inside Egypt you dial 0111-xxx-xxxx
. So the implication that the part in parens is incorrect.
How do I format such a number so that it is understandable to both international and local callers?
