Applying for a job...

Ok, you would think this would be common sense, but apparently not. If you are looking for work and your email address resembles your lifestyle more than your name, maybe you should get an email address separate from your personal one that is just for your résumé. As an HR person, myself, it doesn't bode well to have an email address on your resume like smokidabong@yahoo.com or crackmonkey@hotmail.com. Some of my co-workers and I are going to start a list of these straight-to-the-trash gems, because the list is long, hilarious and deserves publishing.

we hired him immediately.
