When searching for a job, there is no such thing as an unimportant detail. Every aspect that you present to an employer should reflect a professional image.

So, if you're asking potential employers to contact you at an email like lovetoparty@hotmail.com or hotgirl22@yahoo.com, chances are you aren't making the best impression possible. Details like this shouldn't be overlooked -- they combine to create an overall picture of who you are. And while your love of partying may impress friends, it’s unlikely to be a strong selling point in your job search!

If you’re not able to change your current email address, numerous sites including Yahoo and Google offer free email accounts. We recommend taking advantage of such services to create a more businesslike email contact for use in your job search.
