I'm in the process of creating one, since I am looking for a job, and was advised not to use a cutesy email address when emailing my resume to prospective employers. Since both of the email addresses that I currently have would be considered cutesy, I decided that I needed a professional one, with my first name and last name.

What's funny is that when you sign up and go to choose your password, it will tell you if the password that you have chosen is "weak". The verbage next to where you choose the password says, "Strong passwords contain 7-16 characters, do not include common words or names, and combine three of these character types: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, or symbols." I guess all the passwords that I've chosen so far, are considered weak, which cracks me up, since usually the system will just accept a password without rating it weak, strong or whatever. Guess I need to give this password some thought, which I've never had to do before. Usually I just type in the first thing that comes to mind, or use the same password that I use for other accounts that I have.

Weak thread!

go gmail...way better, if you wanna invite note me

Yes thats very true about the email address you use when sending out resumes.
Certainly dont want to use bubblypinkhottie69@hotmail.com

As for the weak and strong thing,I still use it if they consider it weak

2 votes for gmail so far.

mdiver said:

it really doesn't matter which email account u open, gmail, yahoo or hotmail.

to secure the account name u want, add a full stop or an underscore between your first and last name, and include your middle name.

basic stuff really

mdiver said:

It's open to everyone these days. as far as I've heard. No need for invites anymore.

eraclito said:

A lot of company email addresses have first name underscore then last name, or they have a period between the first and last name.

That's good to know.

ThreadCula said:

yep, gmail is the way to go...

i haven't had a hotmail account in about 10 years or so.

NAnomaly said:

Wow, lots of people are saying to go with gmail. I should have asked before I opened the hotmail account. Oh well, if I need yet another email address for whatever reason, I know where to go.

there aint no difference, if u are happy with the hotmail account, keep it...

its all the same shit
