Bangalore: It is very important to concentrate on every little thing during a job search. As in today’s competitive corporate world, recruiters tend to concentrate on even the tiny things during the procedure of selecting a candidate for a particular position. A smart job hunter should give emphasis on every minute aspect of his job search, as every bit of it evolves his sense of professionalism. As a job hunter, it is always advisable for you to know the art of marketing yourself in front of the recruiters; therefore, do not forget to give importance in creating a professional email address which is considered as one of the most powerful marketing tool.

Remember that your email address can make or break your great offer. However, often it is seen that some people do not give any heeds on their e-mail address and as a result, even after possessing great potentials or talent for the offer, they generally fail to grab the great opportunities of life. Some email id’s of job seekers like Dinkyyroo@hotmail.com, cutipiee@yahoo.com and baby.girl@rediffmail.com irritates the recruiters. The recruiters think that these are the applicants who are not serious about the job and they generally tend to ignore candidates with such an email address.  Though often neglected, an email address can very well demonstrate a candidate’s inclination for the job. For example a best example to create a professional email address will be “Firstname_Lastname@gmail.com.” or “Lastname.firstname@hotmail.com.” The usage of the first name and the last name is not only useful to create a great impression on employers but is also helpful for the recruiters to dig out your application mails from their overly stuffed email-trash.

Including an email signature is also equally important to demonstrate your sense of professionalism while applying for a job. Never forget to mention your name in the end after thanks or regards.
