The one thing that wakes me up the most is not a strong cup of coffee but finding a great CV in your inbox.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You take a look at the CV and it has all the right ingredients- great education, tri-lingual, stayed in the same job for many years, amazing credentials and even their hobbies and interests have been well thought of. Everything looks too good to be true and then when you decide to invite them for an interview, you realized this amazing candidate’s e-mail is <a href="mailto:jeffthegreat@hellokitty.com">jeffthegreat@hellokitty.com</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

As a recruitment company, we see hundreds of CVs a day. While Hong Kong people’s names are already notorious for their unconventionality (naming themselves or their children after fruits, verbs, colours or punctuation marks), we often see e-mail addresses that are similarly as eccentric.

A lot of candidates might have these e-mails set up when they were in their teens (we hope) but to continue using them on a CV for a professional position can backfire. An unprofessional e-mail address can create a lasting wrong and possibly negative impression no matter how good the content of your CV is and let’s not forget the risk of your potential boss not being a belieber and/or allergic to kittens.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So our advice is to take 5 minutes of your time and open a free e-mail account. Make it as simple as possible and not too long.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This will certainly be a good start to have your achievements and experiences shine without any hindrance.<o:p></o:p></div>
