Email While Job Searching


 

Email can be friend or foe when you are job searching.  Make sure that the email account you are using for job search is professional. Cute nicknames are best reserved for emailing friends instead of your potential boss.  Using your first and last name to create an email address is your safest bet.
Some common email providers used in Saskatchewan are:
  • Sasktel
  • Hotmail
  • Yahoo
  • Google
  • Shaw.
Be vigilant about checking your spam or junk folders. You never know when a message from an employer could accidently find its way into the wrong folder.  It is best to check your spam folder every few days because some email accounts are setup to automatically delete messaged in these folders after five days. If you find a worthwhile message in the wrong folder than move it into your inbox for safe keeping.  Good luck with your job search.
