Personal or University Email while Networking?

Pretty straightforward - should I use my .edu email account for networking emails (alumni, cold, everything) or just stick to my gmail? I know the benefit of using an .edu account includes the receiving end might see that .edu domain and hopefully (if they're alum) that'll hook them, but are there any downsides to using your university email? Besides the fact that all your emails are one big muddled mess, for those of us who like to compartmentalize. I prefer using my gmail, but it's so overridden with junk and spam that it's just about as neat as using my school ID, which is also overridden with junk & spam (except from real people). Regardless, it's still separate from using an email specifically for on-campus business. Any advice is welcome...

 

I think you're overthinking. Just use whatever email you frequently use on a daily basis. Don't switch over to .edu just because you think alumni will look at it and think of you highly. If your school is on your resume, they will already take note of that.

 

I've always found @gmail to be the safest bet – however, if you're on a upenn/harvard/target network, that might weight it out. Seems more like personal preference to me.

If someone is going to give you heat over what email domain you're using (within reason..), I think that's childish.

Any of those will last you for life in any situation. Do not use Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL or anything else. Gmail or Outlook only. I would advise against university emails (unless you are networking with alumni) as they will become defunct when you leave.

this.

agree NO hotmail, yahoo or AOL or any other domain.

1) university - if yours doesnt expire when you grad (mine didnt) 2) Gmail - with a first last combo (avoid throwing numbers in there)

Gmail or Uni, i dont think it matters. It matters more on the content of your email and what you're requesting imo.

Baby you're the perfect shape, baby you're the perfect weight. Treat me like my birthday, I want it this way and I want it that way. It makes a man feel good baby.
 

Hahahahaa, the bangbros comment made my day :) Of course an email account doesn't land you an interview, but I was just optimizing my resume and I stumbled upon that. Thanks for your replies, they answered my question.

 

Gmail and have your old school email forwarded to your gmail account. Your email should say where you went to school possibly the subject line as well.
