Toxic Work Environments Shouldn’t Be a Rite of Passage

Last week, we highlighted the romanticized idea of a “dream job.” We want to continue the conversation with another idea we need to stop glamorizing: having to pay your dues in bad work environments.

We care about every job seeker we work with and try our best to support them through the interview process in any way we can. Sometimes, that means helping them realize when the job isn’t right for them.

 
Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter

Email address

Do you use your work email for personal communication as well? This is definitely common for leaders who have been with a particular employer for a long time, or perhaps you just find it easier to manage. Though it may be more efficient to just have one dedicated email address, I strongly recommend creating a personal email address for job-seeking activities. Here’s why:

• If you’re applying for jobs outside of your organization with your current employer’s email address, it looks as though you’re using company resources for your own personal gain.
• You want to present yourself as an individual when applying for a new role, not as an extension of your current employer.
• When you ultimately leave that job, you lose your personal correspondence (unless you take the time to forward your emails to your new business account - sounds tedious!). 

I recommend creating a personal email using variations of your first and last name. Consider more current email servers like Gmail or a personal Outlook account versus Hotmail or AOL. And lastly, if you’re not used to using a personal email account, make sure to add the account to your phone or give yourself reminders to check this new account so you don’t miss important communication about job interviews or opportunities.
