In the job market? Set up a separate email address for contact with prospective employers.
Managing your first impressions is critical to your job hunt. With all the free email services out there, there’s no excuse for you to have an email address that could hurt your prospects.
Many times there is great comptetion for an open position. Everything about you and your application is fair game for pass or fail to the next step.
I’ve actually seen email addresses such as partygirl@aol, baseballmom@yahoo or vodka1@gmail.
Instead, create one such as susansmithresume@gmail or susansmith@yahoo or ssmithMBA@aol. Make it professional.
The added benefit all is that you’ll be able to keep of your career related correspondence in one place.
