People seem to like put dumb shit on resumes these days.
I had one who had his email addy on it, and it was something like "beerlover123@aol.com".
I don't mind a person having a beer or two, but I'm sure not going to hire somebody who advertises it like that.
An HR professional I was working with many moons ago (the company we worked for was closing down the Phoenix office, laying off everybody but the principle engineers and relocating the principles to other offices; this HR rep was helping us get our resumes in order so that we could hit the proverbial ground running when the doors closed) cued me in on how e-mails get looked at.
AOL - considered a low level of computing experience; unless you're hiring for some of the jobs that Mike Rowe does on camera, folks with an AOL e-mail address aren't going to be high on your candidate list.
earthlink, comcast, att, qwest, etc... - Second level e-mail addresses. These are the large, commercial ISPs that your average folks will go to when they get sick to death of the scam that is AOL. These are the ones that HR types spend the most time on, because they really have to ferret out the kernels they're looking for from the body of the resume.
hotmail, g-mail, msn, etc... - A step above the second level e-mail service providers. Most of the folks using these e-mails have at least moderate levels of computer proficiency, and the time spent on these resumes will be largely used in fact checking with prior employers and managers, to verify that the skill levels indicated aren't complete bullshit. There is one caveat to this: all bets are off if the professional e-mail address given is something like HotPants459@yadayadayada.com or ladiesman317@boogabooga.net. (There were several draftsmen in our office that were counselled to open a NEW e-mail account with a less "spicy" moniker specifically for job seeking, in order to smooth out the job search process)
