Does your "E-Mail Address" define you?

While contact information is a vital component to your resume, beware that your email address can actually hurt your chances of getting your dream job. Your resume is a company's first chance to get to know you - do you really want to portray yourself as dumbblond1, godsgift2women, potsmoker5, or beerguzzler123 at yahoo, hotmail, gmail, aol, etc? Don't blow your first impression with a possible employer in the first couple of lines in your resume.

Jobseekers, especially people new to the job market, often do not realize what their creative or "fun" email addresses do to their career. There are key questions that you should address before you put your current email address on top of your resume and send it out to potential employers. First, does my email address send the right message to employers? Will my address make it by all spam filters based on any negative language content? Ask yourself "can this address be deemed as inappropriate?" If you are not certain, we encourage you to go to a website and create a free, work appropriate email address for use during your job hunt.

If your email address alludes to your body type, gender, age, race, religion, or your recreational preferences, you would be best to create a new, discrimination-free address. If you give an employer ammo to be turned down, chances are, you will be. On a daily basis, our firm sees dozens of email addresses that really make the recruiters raise their eyebrows and doubt the candidates' values. Don't let this happen to you…
