    Would businesses be more likely to higher me if I had a slightly more professional looking email? Such as Matt.Connor@gmail.com or something similar?

      @mrmattimation it is recommended for job applicants, and i certainly would not hurt.
      Or you could get mrmattimation.com (or whatever) and use it for your email.

      @mrmattimation Definitely. I was at the beck and call of a government-led employment agency for too long and the first thing they said about my CV was that my email wasn't professional enough.

      @mrmattimation Buy a domain (They're like $10 a year) and set it up to use google apps. Then you can have a totally custom professional email address that uses Googles interface. You don't even need your own server

        @cinnamonswirl I just use mail.com for all my email addresses... I have about half a dozen or so through them.
