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!
.edu no question lol
Really? I got more success using my personal than edu. Guess its different from people to people
i go to a semi target with a strong alum network so maybe that’s why? my personal gmail seems too random and unprofessional
I’m from a super non-target so it makes sense. Might be the case that no one recognizes my college name so the personal worked better
100% College
When networking, professional will have to read deeper to see if you are qualified or not which there is a lower chance that they actually take the time to vs them seeing @harvard.edu right off the bat.
No one will have any issues with .edu emails but there are ppl that think personal emails aren’t professional. Most of the time it doesn’t matter but why risk it
