Save The Creative Email Addresses for Social Media

12/12/2016

I’m going to let you in on a little secret: your high school email address is not cute when it comes to a professional document such as your resume.

Yes, that’s right…:

  • bootybabe@whatever.com
  • loveyourlife.xoxo@whatever.com
  • blahblahblah@whatever.com
  • rainbowsandbeagles@whatever.com
  • And any other varieties we think are adorably creative and self-reflective.

Repeat after me: These email addresses are not appropriate for professional documents.

Your resume is often times the one and only chance to make a first impression, so why risk it?  Keep these email addresses for social media, mailing lists and all those department store coupons. Use these easy tips to keep your professional email clean, organized and brand-positive:

Opt for a simple & free Gmail account. 

Gmail is my personal favourite over Hotmail. It’s easy to set up email filters and many businesses use this platform as well.

Select an email address is that easy to ready for ease of re-typing. 

J03yD03@whatever.com is not a good alternative for JoeyDoe@whatever.com.
Did you notice that the “o”s are actually zeros?  No? My point exactly.

Keep it simple: Use your name as your tag. 

firstnamelasname@whatever.com.
The easiest way to keep your personal brand consistent.

Avoid using nicknames. 

mandymoo@whatever.com= coupon email.

Ensure it’s free of grammatical/spelling errors. 

amandamaire@whatever.com- Did you notice “Marie” is spelt wrong at first glance?
An employer might not either and you might miss out on your chance at an interview.

 So what’s your game plan when it comes to an email address?

Have you seen any emails on resumes that make you cringe?

Just do the dang thing already. This is OUR remi Just do the dang thing already. 

This is OUR reminder - because I need it just as much as you-  that now is the time to do the things you’ve been holding back on. 

Get out of your comfort zone and see what’s possible. 

One of my favourite things is to make a list of all the things I’d want to do if time, money and logic didn’t get in the way.  Don’t worry about the “How”. It’ll come. 

Trust me when I tell you, logic and I are TIGHT so it’s a bit of a struggle at times to break the bond and allow my mind to wander. But I’ve done things I didn’t think were possible and we’re just getting started. 

What’s something you’ve always wanted to do!?
I’m hella late posting this but as my birthday w I’m hella late posting this but as my birthday was last month I spent a lot of time reflecting on the year prior.  It was without a doubt one of the hardest years yet. 

Not many people know, but I spent most of last year sick and my natural instincts to work harder in times of crisis was actually making things worse. 

I had to take a step back, learn to rest ( still working on this really…) and the hardest thing of all… ask for help. 🙈🙈

I learned some valuable lessons, many that hurt but needed to be learned. I set boundaries, took time to work on healing and slowed down. 

There was a lot of low points but there was also a lot of really amazing moments too. 

Grateful for all the experiences on this wild journey of life and a few key people (you know who you are) who’ve supported me along the way! 🖤

Here’s to 31!
April 2023 // the month YOU go after what you want April 2023 // the month YOU go after what you want!!
I’m just looking for people looking for me! If t I’m just looking for people looking for me! If that’s not you, that’s totally cool! I’ll still cheer you on from the sidelines 🎉
