So my sister is trying to get some internship so she had me create an ATT email account for that, but then she told me to create a gmail account. She's saying that her friend told her it looks more professional to have a gmail account . Have you ever heard that?
It sounds like nonsense to me, I mean I could see how some email account names may be more professional than others based on the name (for example Jsmith@website.com would be more professional than bigbadbootydaddy@website.com), but what does it matter if its gmail or ATT or Comcast or Outlook, heck even AOL at the end of the address? I could see that maybe an address ending in AIM might not look professional but otherwise, what difference does it really make? If anything I would think that rather than looking less professional, an ATT or Comcast address would be more professional than gmail, since gmail is free and ATT and Comcast accounts come with an internet service that you pay for.
