I am currently trying to score an internship/job, and wondering what kind of email address I should put on my resume.
Is it true a "work" email address and "professional" email address are two separate things?
When someone shows you their business card, and it has their work email address on it...isn't this their professional email address?
Or what is meant, is, that some work email addresses are professional while others are not? Like let's say you work for McDonalds or Toys R Us and as a result, you get an email address at their domain for free. Obviously, this would not look like a professional email address, but in places like a county library or other government-funded organization that involves professional work, it would be the opposite right?
So just wondering what the consensus is. For example I have an email address with a county library, where I work. Can this serve as my professional email to put on my resume, while doing a job search, or should I have a "job search only" email address?
