How to center this piece of text in ShareLateX (editor) or Latex (in general)?

Question

I am writing a resume and want to center text at the top of the document which contains my name and email details, like this

I used \begin{center} and \end{center} but it doesnt seem to work

Here is my code:

---

\begin{document}
\begin{tabular*}{\linewidth}{l@{\extracolsep{\fill}}r}

\vspace{-4mm}
\textbf{\LARGE Samuel Adams}
\\
 & \\  \textbf{Notsville, TX} $|$
\textbf{\phone \ \ +1 (000) 000 0000} $|$ 
\textbf{[email protected]} $|$  \textbf{{www.linkedin.com/ffdfs}}\\

\end{tabular*}

\vspace{1 mm}

---

Can anyone help me center this piece of text?

This is how it looks right now. I am looking to center both lines just like we do it in word.

Answer 1

The table will be in the middle of the page once

• you make the left and right margin the same size

• use \noindent in front of the table to avoid it being indented as the first line of a new paragraph

(I'm actually not sure why you use a table for this, you never use the second column...)
