  1. yes


  2. Sort of. Make up a new one on yahoo for free. That consists of your name somehow. Lik Jsmith22 or something?

  3. Yes, because the rebel part makes people think oh no he's not going to follow directions! The prince part makes people think that great another shallow person who only thinks of himself!

  4. Although I've seen far worse Yes! this email is inappropriate. You want to make a good first impression

    Most ISP's allow you more than one email account just make one more appropriate for official purposes. Its easy to set up your email program to check several email addresses, just use the details your ISP provides. I would do this option before resorting to making a yahoo or hotmail one, it looks better on a resume.

  5. It's fine. I'm a hiring manager and I've seen much much worse.

  6. No. It should go on the resume. Near the top, with all of your other contact info.

  7. yeah, create a new email address.

  8. It's actually encouraged to put your email address on your resume - that is what I was taught to do during my years in college.

    I would recommend putting a new email address on the resume though  - one that is more professional....maybe your the letter of your first name followed by your last name@sbcglobal.net.

  9. It is fairly normal however, if you want to give a professional image, use another. One that is your name or part of your name etc.

    If you add an address you can usually tie it in with your old address and have them both delivered to the same in box.

  10. The last time I wrote out and distributed a personal resume there was no email (Probably less than 5% of the population had PCs!). However, in today's day and age it would seem to make perfect sense.

  11. dont put it like that if that is your email address, try to make it more official, id suggest maybe making a quick email at some random thing like hotmail and if your name was johnsmith just like JSmith(maybe insert birthyear here if needed)@hotmail.com you know? looks more official, and use the one u have there for like personal stuff not related to work

  12. yeah, it's weird. Just put your initial and last name.

  13. no not at all that is not an appropriate e mail adress to place on a resume. make a new email adress with yahoo. This time make it with your first and last name. for example if your name is tommy wilson then you should make your e mail tommywilson@yahoo.com

    by the way its free to make a yahoo email

  14. Not at all.  It's another way an employer can reach you.  Just make sure that the email address is something respectable, like your first and last name only.
