College or Personal Email Address for Networking
Hi everyone,
I’m currently preparing for IB recruiting and am wondering whether my college or personal email address is better to use for networking. I've heard mixed opinions on this. Some suggest that using a college email can improve response rates from alumni and reduce the risk of emails landing in spam folders. Others believe that a personal email address appears more professional.
What are your thoughts or experiences with this?
Thanks a lot!
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know:
Personal Email Address: It is generally recommended to use a personal email address for networking. A professional-looking personal email, such as [email protected], is suggested. This is because Gmail has a better archiving feature compared to most school email systems.
Professionalism: Ensure that your email address is professional. Avoid using casual or unprofessional email addresses.
Email Management: Gmail's archiving and organizational features are superior, which can help you manage your networking emails more effectively.
For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the WSO networking guide, which includes several templates and additional tips.
Hope this helps!
