The Alps and singing nuns might not be involved (again, not in the plans), but we do guarantee you this: if you follow these guidelines, step by step, your resume will convey professionalism and help you look like …

Resume header: Your professional email address
Email Address: Part of your Professional Image One of the most common resume mistakes we see is with email addresses. Your email address is just one of the many elements that can contribute to your professional image. Certain e-mail addresses do not convey professionalism: Hotmama78@hotmail.com or Benchpress247@yahoo.com, for example. Aside from a professional-sounding address, for consistency of personal branding, I recommend an email address that closely matches the name on your resume. This kind of address has the added bonus of always being recognizable; it takes the guesswork out of a contact list. Common Email Mistakes Certain details that should not …
