STOP with the cutesy e-mail handles!

I didn’t think I would need to write about this, I thought by 2010 enough college recruiters and career advisors would have reiterated the need for professional e-mail address. Sadly, I was wrong.

 

Nothing screams unprofessional like an e-mail address of hottgurrrl69@e-mail .com or studmanly@email.com. This website has examples and reasons why those examples are unprofessional.

Enough is enough! If you want people to consider you professional, not have to guess what your real identity is and take you seriously, please, change your e-mail handle!

About Aurora

My father named me after Sleeping Beauty. The princess theme stuck. Unfortunately, the only castle I can claim is the one in Disney Land. These are the musings of a princess without minions, knights or fairy tales. I have to do my own bidding.

The views in this blog are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer or clients.
