Believe it or not a job seeker really used this email address. Or “Noviagra.” A job seeker looking for a VP level HR position used this email address. Needless to say neither applicant made it past the initial screening process.
Just as you wouldn’t wear a t-shirt and shorts to a job interview because you love the beach, you shouldn’t use your “beachlover” email account for your job search. While your personal email address may seem harmless and a reflection of your personality, it’s important to use a professional email address when looking for a job.
By professional we mean a variation of your name. References to hobbies, interests or personal attributes are not appropriate for a job search.
There are many free web-based email accounts available that are easy to set up, so no excuses. Take a look at the email account you’re using for your job search. Do you need to change it?
depends on what the job is. If it's working at JB's Gallery of Girls, then YES! I think that email address would seal the deal on her getting the position.
Good Lord, no. Surely they couldn't be serious.
Well, I've been looking for a good pastry chef …
Re: JB's Gallery of Girls
I think I was in the joint once. Don't really remember, so it might have been fun. Didn't find my pastry chef, though. Will keep looking.
