THIS WILL BE VERY USEFUL DURING PLACEMENT & JOB SEARCH..SO READ IT A professional e-mail address is defined as one that, in its entirety, represents and reflects the professional interests of the user or owner of the e-mail address itself. A professional e-mail address forms a constituent part of how individuals or organisations actively market their products, services, skills, or professional objectives. A professional e-mail address also therefore communicates factual, useful, and meaningful information about the owner or user of the address.
There are a few things that are part and parcel of the resume and your email address is one of them. But there are a few points that you have to keep in mind before typing your email address in the resume. In this recession period when situations are few and far between you cannot afford a single glitch in your resume.
1.Your email has to be a very professional one. It should not turn your future employer off. Many recruiters prefer a normal email like [email protected]. This is sufficient enough to get the notice of the recruiter.
2.Please avoid so-called ‘funny’ email addresses like [email protected], because though they may look funny to you they might appear irritating to the employer.
3.It is believed that your email address too is a reflection of your personality. A too funny email may appear like an announcement that undermines your serious, and professional nature. So, keep your email simple, and businesslike.
4.If you are feeling tempted to keep a funky personal email address then you can go ahead but make sure that you have a separate one as well to add in the resume. This will help you keep your personal and professional identities separate.
5.A businesslike email at the top of the resume also helps the employer know that you have the common sense of keeping your personal beliefs separate from your business demands.
6.It is your image that will create the first impression so, try to appear a responsible and levelheaded person through your resume, and your resume can help you a lot in this regard. Do not forget that this is the time of downsizing.
7.It is better to keep the personal email id for your friends and families and find a different id that would go with the professional look of the resume. Make sure that typed at the top of the resume your email id is not looking out of place.
8.If you are feeling confused and do not know how to create a professional email id the n you can ask your friends to help you out. There are also some professional sites available on the Internet that can help you create a business email.
9.Recruiters also dislike ambiguous email addresses. That is why do not make your email id a combination of fun and professionalism.
10. Remember employers these days are paying even more attention to the resumes. Due to the recession period they want to hire the best but after enough checking. Any silly mistake in your resume may spell doom to your chances to get the job.
To determine whether an e-mail address is professional, ambiguous, or unprofessional, both parts of the address, i.e. the local element before the ‘@’ sign and the domain name that follows have to be considered. Furthermore both elements have to be judged singularly and jointly to determine whose interests the e-mail address best represents.
To clarify further it is worth looking at examples and classifying them accordingly. For the purpose of examination the examples are based on the premise that the owner is using the e-mail address in a professional context.
