So I was wondering; is it best to get an email that has your name or something more formal when emailing out your resume? currently my email is using either the name rageunleashed or chunkygibber, but would that cause employers within a game company to not take my emails as seriously? What have those of you who've gotten…
Whilst I agree that using your name simply sounds more professional than 'DeathslayAR72@hotmail.com' , I'm not convinced that it would seriously hinder your employability provided that your work was up to par. I mean somehow Poop gets away with it. But then, that's Poop. But really, nuthin' to lose by setting up a gmail…
It depends on the nick, but I suggest you go with your real name. First initial plus last name is professional, businesslike, and safe.

I use my initial.lastname@gmail.com for "serious" emails, but I still sign them all with my nickname as well as my real name. It's only my hotmail account that has a really lame address (i named it... 5 years ago), but the only people who really get that are my friends, so I'm safe. Me and my brother got our surname.co.uk,…
I'm just an aspiring hobbyist, so I'm far from an authority on the subject, but I don't imagine it would make much of a difference. It might have a slight subconscious affect on the person receiving your resume (using your full, real name might seem more professional... or maybe it'd be perceived as lacking personality),…
