Use a Separate Email Address for Job Search

We recommend getting a separate email address for job hunting, so that you give a consistent, professional impression; and that you're not using your company email or a silly moniker. However, we have another reason we'd like to add. If you are going to use a separate email for job hunting, you may have to loosen up on the spam filters. Sure you may get a few Nigerian Princes writing you, but isn't it worth suffering through a handful of those and NOT missing an email from a recruiter with a short timeframe? At the very least, you need to check your spam filters frequently.
