The e-mail attached to the resume I read today

BEYOTCH72 @*****.com

[Midnight12]

yeah THAT will get you a job real quick!

[EvilEmpryss]

I might have been impressed with "BEYOTCH#1", or even "YOURBEYOTCH", but "BEYOTCH72"?

I'd have to check out the qualifications of BEYOTCHes 1-71 first.

[malmalthekiller]

I know, right?

My sister works at a debt collecting company, where a lot of the accounts are product based, so they have e-mail addresses.

She's seen everything from "unicornsrsexy@*****.com" and "ilovepossay@****.com"

But for a job? Really.

Like I'm gonna hire the guy who was 72nd in line

Insane - especially when you can get personalized gmail accounts for this kind of thing in a flash. I have one that I use for emplyment puposes only - its ONLY given out on resumes/applications - when I get emails I know its job related.

I learned from a job recruiter that if they see an email address like that on a resume, they just pass. . . since it shows no professionalism.

I myself have a personal email. A older email which I use for spam (used to be my old personal one) and one of business.

Right? If you're #72 obviously you have a problem being on the ball.

Same here. I figured I needed something more professional than my Star Wars related personal account.

Not excusing it, but 72 could be the year of birth? It is mine.

There I go revealing all about myself in post number 1.

Beyotch....yeah....like that email doesn't scream toss this resume in the round bin.

More likely he was the 72nd person to try to use that username.

[PepperElf]

or if it's like some email/chat systems if your name's already taken it'll spawn a list of possibilities.


i knew before i started job hunting that my email... well it's not offensive, but it's not professional either. so one of the first things i did was open another gmail account and base the email off of my own name (but shorter cos my last name is long and Polish).

i figure unless you have a really messed up last name, that's the way to go.
