I concur with the point about emailing the CEO, unless it's obvious the position would report directly to them. Best bet would be trying to find a direct line

I concur with the point about emailing the CEO, unless it's obvious the position would report directly to them. Best bet would be trying to find a direct line of communication via your social network (and by that I mean people you actually know, not people who follow you on Twitter, though the two may intersect).
As for the AOL addresses--well, if your address is tightjeans@aol.com (I've seen it on a resume), then, yeah, probably worth it to get a GMail address. But if it's jsmith@aol.com, I wouldn't worry much about it.
- xenoterracide 18y agowhat do you think of mine Caleb Cushing xenoterracide@gmail.com ? would you toss my resume for that? xenoterracide is google-able, my caleb.cushing@gmail is not. I use the xenoterracide one for all my social networking, blogging, open source work.
- jerf 18y agoProbably the people you want to work with won't mind, and people you don't want to work with might. I'd be careful who I sent that to if my goal was to be hired at all costs. (I don't know what your goal is.) I don't think it would bother me, but you'd probably get an eyebrow raise from me from a guy whose handle appears to translate to "Aliens blowing up the Earth". I'm not sure I can promise that I wouldn't have at least a bit of a negative subconscious reaction. I mean, I live on the terra and all... :)
