Today’s Job Seeker Tip: E-mail addresses
Over the course of my career I have been absolutely SHOCKED by the email addresses people use during their job search.
It is NOT appropriate to have an email address such as.......
sxykitten
sexychic
video_game_aholic
hotguy74
.....listed on your resume/application.
Not the way to make a great first impression.
Yahoo, hotmail and gmail accounts FREE and take less than fifteen minutes to set up. Set one up using your name or name and profession..........
LisaSmith@
EngineerBob@
Mary.Smith@
You want the person screening resumes/applications to say “Hey! Look at this one” because of the content -- not because they are laughing and wondering WHAT you were thinking!
May all your Endeavors be Insightful,
