Silly email addresses

I agree with Heidi on stupid email signatures. And I am going to take it one step further - you are a grownup, get a real email address. If you use your personal email for anything remotely professional, maybe don't have it be someweirdreferencethatnoonegets@yourmom.net. Try: your.name@yourmom.net. Or some variation thereof. Seriously, it is an address that people should remember. If I see goofygal@aol.com on top of your resume - I won't hire you.

I know this is controversial. I probably still like you and think that you are smart if you have a wacky email address. I just think that you should change it.
