Once again, I would like to give word to one of the Internet users, a colleague of mine, who proposed an interesting topic about e-mails that appear in CVs:
If there is a possibility to propose a theme I would like to talk about the impact (most often negative) that can produce an e-mail address that is included in a CV of a candidate.
Maybe it would be better to have two e-mail accounts: one used for personal matters and the other for the professional ones. The latter should be more aseptic and impartial, so that it could not affect the decision of the person responsible for the selection process.
Every day we come across different e-mail addresses. Some of them are too expressive and are completely inappropriate in the labour environment. When we are creating a CV, we mean to make a good impression on a person who will be reading it, in order to deserve an opportunity to have a personal meeting and show what we are capable of. Nevertheless, the fact of having an inadequate e-mail address can deprive us of this opportunity.
Can this indispensable information of our CV make such a difference? If we look through some CVs that we receive every day, we can find examples like:
PrettyPinkPrincess@...
WikedChik@...
sparkleboy@...
singingintherain@...
Yes, there really are e-mails that can make a person be judged only by the first sight of the CV. Can you even imagine a conversation between a selector and a candidate:
SELECTOR – Very well, I will send you all the necessary information by e-mail. Is it This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ?
CANDIDATE – Yes. Please, send it as well to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
In the end, it is up to you to decide…
