This question already has an answer here:
What should a professional email address look like?
5 answers
I use a nickname that makes me identifiable anywhere on the internet. As neither Stack Overflow, nor most of the SE sites are related to my "internet persona", I decided not to register with that name here, but kept my full name instead.
My e-mail address, however reflects to this nickname. To be precise, it is (something like) katamori123@email.com, and I use it practically everywhere, even for receiving messages from the university.
Now, however, I have to apply to a job to gain experience (I can't have a degree without it) and I was asked for sending a CV via e-mail.
Would it ruin the image about me, if I use katamori123 as usual? Is it recommended to make an e-mail like zoltanschmidt@gmail.com or it's safe to keep using the other one?

@JoeStrazzere it's not a regular job, but rather about being a trainee or something. Couldn't find a better way of explaining; just my lack of proper English, I'm sorry. But anyways, it's general here,maybe even in the entire country.

I wouldn't worry about it. It isn't offensive, and I promise you they've seen much worse geekery.

That name is not offensive to me but I am not a recruiter. In the name of privacy and fraud I would not want an email name that could be guessed.

Does your university provide an email address? Since you are applying for trainee positions where they are presumably hiring university students, consider just using your uni-assigned address for this.

Definitely change it to something more professional.
Imagine the recruiter looking through a stack of resumes. Anyone with a killer_coyote_xxx@hotmail.com type of email is probably not getting a second look.
Additionally, when someone looks at their e-mail and sees a communication from "katamori12" they may just delete it thinking it came from some kind of spam bot.
Give yourself the best shot at any given job by having a clean, professional e-mail address listed.
Note: And definitely consider making your resume e-mail a g-mail one. I've had recruiters set up my interview appointment through Google Calendar.

Yes, that very last sentence explains perfectly, why I was skeptical - even if user keshlam among the comments of the question is right.

If you're nervous, setting up a new mailbox more directly attached to your name certainly won't hurt.
