Hellobee Boards

Yup because mulan12121@gmail.com on a resume doesn't look professional.

yep, my last name.

My professional emails do, but I keep two random junk ones for anonymity.

I have a personal account that doesn't have my name and I have an alternate account with my name in the email.

yup. I have two my primary one and also one with my married name (which I don't use that often)

Yes, and like others have mentioned I'm so thankful it does because it seems more professional/appropriate for sending emails. Last year I was corresponding with one of my students' parents via e-mail and it was so hard for me to take the mother seriously because her email address was biznitch something or other. In my opinion...not appropriate for emailing your child's teacher.

Yes, first and middle initial (or first two letters of first name since they are the same) and last name. For my job I have to periodically review resumes and it drives me nuts and looks completely unprofessional (in my opinion) when someone is applying for a job and their e-mail address is something like "hotinabikini@". I wanted to make it easy but still professional.

yep!

@mrbee: I wouldn't say she was a bad student by any means but it was painfully obvious the type of environment she was growing up in and the things she was exposed to, the mother's e-mail address only solidified my suspicions about things.

Mine has always had my name in it!

It use to be first.maiden@gmail.com. Now, my married name is common so it's firstmiddleinitialjohnson#@gmail.com - I had no choice but to add a number. Every single variation of my name with Johnson was taken!

Yes, its my first initial, maiden name and the year i was born because othr variations were taken

Yes. I have 3 emails.
1- work related (for my resume) and it is my full name with a period in between first and last
2- personal: it is my first name and maiden name
3- weddingbee/hellobee/etsy/ebay email and it is my first name and my husbands last name.

All are connected to my phone and literally anyone could email me on any of them if you knew my name--it's too easy

Yes, I think it is easiest for people to remember and it is more professional if you use your name.

I have too many email accounts to keep track of, now they all forward into my gmail box. I have first.maiden@gmail, heandshe@gmail, firstmaidenmarried@gmail, first ##@undergrad.edu, initials@grad.edu, oldjunk@yahoo.com, professional@work.ca, can'tremembermypassword@hotmail.com

My work one does, but my personal one is the latin name of a shrub (wanted a one word email and was taking a botony class at the time) and my junk one is a name I made up.

yep, my name @ gmail!

@ladyfingers: i thought it was hard to switch for gmail, but I realized that you can forward your madien name emails to your married name email until you don't get maiden name emails anymore! it was super easy once i realized that and i didn't have to worry about missing any emails... but then i realized that most of my emails are junk subscriptions!

Yes, I use my first (only the nn version), middle initial and married last in my most current. My maiden name on was my last name followed by the first two letters of my first name. I also have an old one that I rarely check that collects junk mail and use for some sites as log in that is just something I made up in high school.

@LindsayInNYC: same here, my last name was taken, so my first email was firstname.lastname####@gmail.com, I had to add some numbers and didn't like how it looked. So I changed it to firstnamemiddlename@gmail.com
THEN I got married and now have BOTH an obscure first AND last name so I got my email firstname.lastname@gmail.com

@ladyfingers: Yeah, I just set up mail forwarding from each account I've used in the past.

Yep!

first name, maiden name, last name. Just more professional.
