Do I need a professional email address for a resume?

Yes, you definitely need a professional email address for your resume.  Silly or rude email addresses are a huge turn-off for recruiters and hiring managers.

Here are some tips to watch for to make sure your email address isn’t the reason you are not getting call-backs:
