Email Address Tips

A tip about your email address when applying for a job:
Send your job search messages from a serious address, like “LyndaBundock@…” or with a little marketing added, “LyndaBundock-MBA@…”
Don’t use your “smartypants@…” or “littleangel@…” accounts for your job search. Messages from email addresses like these may look like junk email (or jokes) and be deleted unread. They also don’t send the sort of message you’d want to convey about yourself, when trying to get an interview.
If you are over 40, DO NOT use numbers that could be interpreted as the year you were born! So, MJSmith1964@… is NOT a good idea. It is discriminatory to ask a person’s age, so don’t give it away with an email address like this.
