Applying for jobs today, whether online or in person, almost always requires an email address where potential employers can contact you. If you don’t already have one, set one up today. Need assistance ask a staff member at your Library. We are glad to help.
There are two websites we recommend for setting up a free email account:
Go to either of these sites and look for the option to Create An Account, then follow the instructions they provide. You will choose your own unique email address and password.
In Google, your email address will end in @gmail.com
In Yahoo, your email address will end in @yahoo.com
It is best to choose a professional email address for job search purposes, and to mix both letters and numbers in your address and your password. Here are some explamples:
JosephASmith46@gmail.com
MarieNoble1229@yahoo.com
Not: MissKittyPurrrr@yahoo.com
Be sure to write down your email address and your password, or on the Password Tracker in your Job Search Kit, and keep it with you at all times.
