Tip #12: Forgetting the Obvious?

When you are creating your resume or having a professional resume created for you, include your email address which should be at best professional sounding. For example, you could create your email address as lisa@xyz.com or lchapman@yahoo.com instead of email addresses like butterflylady@yahoo.com or even using your current employer’s email address. Go ahead and create an email address that only you have access to and that potential employers can contact you. You can include this information on your cover letter to match the layout of your resume – by using the same heading, the same margins, and the same font.
