Job Seekers - Choosing the right personal email address
The first thing an employer will notice is your email address.
When an employer receives your resume via the web or an email,
your email address will most likely be at the top of that
document. Now, be very cautious when selecting an email to use.
Try to reframe from using slang term email addresses or email
addresses that may offend other people aside yourself. Emails
like nobodylikeme@thisisanexample.com or
icantcomplain@thisisanexample.com may distance an employer from
you. With these sorts of email addresses, your resume may not
ever be reviewed.
I recommend using emails that represent your name like,
john.smith@thisisanexample.com or jsmith@thisisanexample.com.
This will give the employer an idea that you represent
professionalism. I have seen too many email addresses that
display car names or favorite actors, these email addresses are
in better taste and use with family and friends. Remember, try
to use an email address that will represent your kin name. The
first impression is the most important, and to lose an employers
attention due to an unfriendly email address is starting your
career search off on a bad foot.
Teenagers and young adults please take note, remember to choose
a professional email address. Yahoo (http://www.yahoo.com), Hotmail (http://www.hotmail.com), Gmail (http://gmail.google.com), and others offer
free email addressees.
