Choosing an Email Address
Whether you’ve just gotten a wireless internet provider or you just need a change, you’ve got to put a lot of time and care into selecting an email address. It’s something you’ll identify with for years to come so you’ve got to think ahead lest you choose the wrong thing.
Think Professional: You’ll want to pick something that doesn’t stand out to hiring managers, at least in a bad way. Try and stick to some variation of your name and stay away from anything hobby related like video gaming, sports or a celebrity you associate yourself with.
Think Long term: Pick something you can use for an extended period of time – you don’t want to have to switch all your email contacts a year after you set this address up. Things to think about are changes in a job or a name change, for single women.
Think Easy to Remember: You can’t remember a string of numbers so why would you expect anyone else to? Try to keep numbers and strings of letters in your address at a minimum to make your address easy to remember and recite.
