One of the courses told us to make sure we had a <em>professional<\/em> email address. Not something that could possibly be a turn-off to hiring authorities. Hey \u2013 I\u2019m looking for a job. Please send your application to eat-me@gmail.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Email addresses being typically assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), had the potential to no longer be valid should I choose to use another ISP. That left me the usual, gmail or hotmail. I hated to depend on those because they are free. And you know what free means. If any services are free, then <strong><em>you<\/em><\/strong> are the product. I decided to open my own domain and settled on basilweb.net. That gave me my own email server and I\u2019ve had the same email address for 20 years this year. My shortened first name at last name web dot net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To celebrate this personal small anniversary, I had a Zippo engraved.
