Emails, we all have them. Most of us use our CCSD (Cherry Creek School District) email for everything, whether it is for personal use, school use, or professional use, while others use a gmail or yahoo. But in a blink of an eye, many of us will be applying to colleges and jobs, or have already done that. If you are applying for things or have already done so, you should have a professional email.

Many students consider their CCSD email as their professional email, but as soon as we graduate, our school emails will be deleted and gone forever, which means you can’t go back in, you can’t communicate or see who emails you through the school email and all the important emails you have saved on there will no longer be of access to you.

Creating a professional email now, whether you are a freshman or senior is important and a great idea. It’s better to start now than later.

You want to have a professional email outside of a personal email that way when you give your employer and or professor that email address, the emails that you receive from them will not be cluttered and lost within your personal emails.

Lets say your professor emails you, if you only had a personal email, you might pass it off as an unimportant one because it is cluttered with all your other personal things, but if you gave them your professional email, you would be more likely to see and view it because that email is less cluttered with your personal life.If you have a professional e
mail, and write that down on a resumé, employers and colleges will look at you as a more reliable person, rather than an unreliable one because of your professional email.  When you have a professional email, you become more mature and responsible because you have that sense of professionalism with that official email.

Professionalism is important for your future, this is just one step to help you achieve that.
