If you're using one of the top three emails - Yahoo!, Gmail, and Hotmail – it probably won't. But if you're in IT or Creative, you should think about switching to Gmail to keep up with the early-adopters in your industry. Use of Yahoo! appears to decline as people attain higher levels of education. Switching could help you fit in with professional and white collar positions. Even better, look at purchasing your own email domain. We saw hundreds of personalized email domains in the "Other" category that could help your resume stand out from the crowd.
