It's a Friday afternoon, the sun probably won't be out again till next year and someone brought pizza into the office at lunch; so to celebrate and commiserate all of those things, my blog today is just for fun, but before you get excited there's an important job seeking lesson to be learned first...

Job seeking tip of the day: Contact details can say a lot, or rather too much, about you!

We all go through our CV with a fine tooth comb before submitting it to employers, education and work history- check, well written personal statement- check, perfect spelling and grammar-check... But what might be easy to forget is something as small as the email address you supply. Make sure that your email address is sensible, professional and simple- don't put your prospective employer off by asking him to contact you on a silly email address that you've had since college.

To give you an idea of the type of thing to avoid, I have enlisted the help of the FreeMyCV office; and after much amusement, deliberation and censoring [tut tut, boys] I now bring you our definitive list of personal email addresses you might want to consider avoiding...
