Don\u2019t let an unprofessional email address stick out like a sore thumb and ruin all the work you did. Recruiters are humans, and they\u2019re looking for ways to narrow their candidate pool down. While you might think it\u2019s silly to disqualify someone for a personal email address, the recruiter may feel that your email choice points to poor judgment and an inability to present a professional front.<\/p>\n<p>If you use social media in a professional capacity or have a LinkedIn profile, all of your links and usernames should be the same. Uniformity is not only aesthetically pleasing on a resume, but it also creates a simplified way to contact you. Your LinkedIn URL should match your email address, and your professional Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook handles should also be identical.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:\u00a0\u00a0JOBS IN TANZANIA<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still using your embarrassing email address from your childhood days?
