Use a Professional Email Address on Your Resume

Your email address is part of your professional image and a critical piece of information on your resume. Email addresses that are cute, silly, provocative, or difficult to key just won’t cut it with hiring managers. Chose an address that is some combination of your first and last name and avoid using long strings of numbers or letters that don’t form a word. Email addresses are part of your professional persona. You want to stand out from the crowd because of your unique accomplishments, not your unusual email address. Keep it simple and professional and you will quickly elevate your credibility with hiring authorities.
