I generally agree. The public presence that's given me a lot of positive attention is:
1. Having a custom domain
2. Using that custom domain for email
3. Have your custom domain point to a professional-looking page. Maybe link to a resume/other things.
I've had a surprising number of interesting interactions just because someone saw my email and went to my website. Some yielded job leads and eventual referrals to jobs through old-school networking.
- sanderjd 3y agoDo you think the TLD matters? I see you have a .com, but I can never find any plausible .coms available for my name. Do you think people care about this? Does stuff like .me and .io seem unprofessional somehow for this "cool, they have a custom email domain, let's go see what's on it" workflow?
