What is in a name? How many time have you heard that quote? In today's technological world the quote might be "What is in an e-mail address?" As I speak with candidates and ask for their e-mail addresses, I am amazed at some of the derivations that I come across. You would be surprised at the number of times I have had a client tell me that the candidate would not get an interview because of the statement that was made by a personal e-mail address and how that address might be perceived by other employees of the company. Select an address that is personal to you or your family but be mindful of how that address may be received by others.

The fourth practice to avoid is Social Media Thought Police. It's reasonable to block Youtube ( GOOG ) in the office because of the bandwidth it consumes. The recent e-mail message I received from a worker who'd just been informed of her employer's "no LinkedIn profiles permitted" policy sets a new low for organizational paranoia. Memo to your general counsel: Human beings work in your business. People have lives, brands, and connections beyond your walls, and those human entanglements are more likely to help your business than to hurt it. What to do instead: Treat people like babies only if you want them to act like babies. Let the rest of them update their LinkedIn , Facebook , and Twitter accounts appropriately, and if they're not getting their work done, deal with that problem on its own.
