Dear Hiring Manager,

Enter context here.

Closing statement.

Signature (Text)
\end{document}

Output:

**UPDATE: Adding tabular I can achieve what I need, but **

   \fancyhead[RH]{% 
\scshape
  \ifthenelse{\value{page}=1}{%
    %\contactblock% display elements in contact block.
          \begin{tabular}[t]{@{}l@{}}
              \contactblock
                 \end{tabular}
    }{%
    \Large\scshape{\Name}% Subsequent pages will have your name as the R-Header.
  }
}

Output after the update makes the left header and right header mis-align.

Best Answer

Converting comment in to answer, just to close things, noting that jobapp.sty is not included in miktex (atleast).

Use [b] instead of [t] in \begin{tabular}[t]{@{}l@{}}. This will align First Last (name) to the table's bottom.
