With so many qualified job seekers on the hunt employers are scanning through resumes quicker than ever. The tiniest thing to turn them off is all they need to move onto the next one. Your email address must scream professionalism! I am amazed at the number of inappropriate email addresses people use during their job search.

* sxykitten
* sexychic
* video_game_aholic
* hotguy74T

These are truly NOT appropriate for use in your job search.

Yahoo, hotmail and gmail accounts are FREE and take less than fifteen minutes to set up. Set one up using your name or name and profession..........

It's the small stuff that will put you ahead of your competition. Best of luck in your job search!
