Professional Emails

In the year 2016, pop culture has definitely influenced us all with the inventions of new words and phrases such as 'on fleek', 'basic' and 'lit.'

However, when it comes to applying for jobs, employers tend to be not interested and even dismissive of such terms on resumes, especially when it comes to the applicant's email address.

An email says a lot about a person and how professional a person comes off as. Especially as someone defined as a 'youth', it's good to give an excellent impression through the information given on resumes, especially through one's email address.

An acceptable email is one that gives the employer the impression that you are professional. Keep in mind personal emails can be used for personal communication and social media accounts but a specific professional email should be used for resumes and job searching. Usually the best example of a professional email is one which has your first and last name (in any order) before the '@' sign. These can be separated by '_' or '.' or just put together as one word.

Examples:

kensmith@hotmail.com

ken_smith@yahoo.com

smith.ken@gmail.com

Unprofessional Examples:

cutiepie@hotmail.com

alwaysonfleek@yahoo.com

kenhuggablesmith@aol.com
