As I am reviewing resumes this morning that have come in over the holiday weekend, I continue to be surprised by the number of very professional resumes with non-business email addresses. This may be a small detail, and many job seekers probably have not given any thought to changing their email address for their resume and business contacts.
Most employers or recruiters will be making contact by email. If the address is long and silly, such as ezeeeeee@yahoo.com, it may give the wrong impression - as well as may be copied incorrectly. I see some that give a little too much personal information or may make the person not seem to be serious (livetogolf, ladyinthebathtub - true examples).
A better option is to set up an email with your name, simple, clear, and perhaps to maintain a separate account for all career related correspondence. Crisp, concise, professional - details to carry out in all parts of the job search. Just a thought on this Labor Day.
