Gmail. For both personal, and work. Separate accounts.

Way back in the day, I had hotmail. That's purely a spam account now. I used yahoo for forever, but it's becoming a mix of actual mail I care about and spam stuff. Currently using gmail.

I'm finding having to spell my non name related email more and more frustrating though. It's too much of a pain to create a completely new one.

yeah I wish I would have ahead of the curve when I was 19 and went with first.lastname@gmail.com instead of mynickname+favoritenumber+birthyear@gmail.com but at this point it would be too much of a hassle to change my email

I wish I had that sort of foresight, sadly when I was 19 all of my usernames were Hootie2485 no matter where I went or where I signed up...so I'm stuck with it on GMAIL. It hasn't really hindered me much, but it is kind of embarrassing on my resume.

Can you just not find anything close to your real name you could use? If you're actually using that on your resume...stop. I'd almost instantly pass on a resume with a name like that on it.

Since I'm a network engineer, and that email address pretty obviously is for distribution of VPNs, I use it on my resume. I've also spent considerable time doing Internet forensics and abuse - I never use my real name for stuff like that. |

Damn man, it's not that hard to come up with something more professional. I know dozens of people who have been declined follow up interviews for something as small as a ****ed up email address.

If I had to post a resume today I would definately creat a new email strictly for that. It shouldn't matter, but it does like people have mentioned.

I'm not a Hootie & the Blowfish fan...it's basically my last name. I think people get confused, but perhaps since my name is on my resume my email makes a little more sense in case they wondered.
