When you’re job hunting, how important are things like the name you use for your e-mail address and the greeting on your cellphone? My son has a goofy address and message, and while it was funny in college, it seems inappropriate now that he’s looking for work.

What, you’re not proud of Junior’s creative bongkong@studman.com handle? Tired of dialing your little dude and getting voicemail that sounds like you’ve reached Harold and Kumar?

Well, me too! It’s sophomoric in college and just plain stupid when looking for a job — and, yes, we notice and care. One of the biggest problems with college grads is making the transition from frat boy to professional. The campus look, walk and talk sometimes take a while to shed, and it definitely affects job success. Using a simple, mature voicemail message and a basic e-mail address consisting of your name or some straightforward variation are two steps in the right direction.

I want to look for a new job, but between my personal obligations and the responsibilities of my current job there’s just no time. Is it bad form to take time out of the work day to job search?

I don’t know, is it really bad form to steal from your employer? If you can’t find time before or after work to search for a job, use your lunch hour or personal and vacation days. And while we’re on the subject, don’t use company e-mail to correspond with prospective employers, or use company equipment to copy and fax resumes. Not only is it risky and disrespectful to your current employer, but think about what message you’d be sending a prospective employer.
