Professional email address

Everyone needs to have a professional email address. This is important because you will do a lot of communication by email including communications with people who might want to give you a job.

Would you hire someone for an important job if they sent you email from an address like jollybigboy@idiots.com or sexymama25@stupidpeople.com? I hope not.

Suggestions would be use your first initial and last name. For instance jsmith or even your full name; johndoe@wherever.com. Don't use call signs or handles.

It is easy to set up a free email account. I personally use Google gmail. They have a lot of features that are handy. Go to www.gmail.com to set up an account.

Of course if you have a professional email address already, don't worry about this.

Once you have this, send an email to me at lboyd@martincc.edu.
