Will using non-gmail hurt my chance of getting hired?

Sorry to bother you but, any recommendations for several year work gap on my resume ?

- “Taking care of a family member” has worked for a few people
- Having cancer. It’s not just the cancer, the treatment is pretty hard on the body and mind. It’s been five years now and I don’t know if I will ever be able to get back to work.

I work in HR. No one would ever care.

YMMV based on the company you're applying to and how thoroughly theyre going to vet past work history, but I managed to land my current job by just putting "June 2024" as my leaving date instead of "June 2022" and just said the company recently restructured and did layoffs.

When places look at resumes, they're looking at communication skills, education, experience, and work history. They're looking for lies and exaggerations. The poor bastards have probably been through 60 resumes a day and they're just hoping to find a keyword here or there that isn't like the other 60 resumes.
If they're unscrupulous they're also looking at your name and trying to figure out your race/gender.
As long as the email address and content you provide exudes professionalism, and the email works, They don't care at all.
As far as privacy, forget it. The business you are working with is already certainly using Microsoft or Google, they're vetting your email address and content through a spam filter. In most cases you are private email has no longer private the second it gets to any company.

No job/recruiter/interviewer will ever care about what email provider you use.

Unfortunately, I have seen some CEO's that will refuse employees using anything other than major services, like Google, Apple, etc.
I did see one specifically mention he will not interview anyone with a Proton email address because it wasn't considered "professional".
It's certainly ridiculous, but big business is ridiculous.

I use my own [email protected] (well actually it's last-net.com because I couldn't secure any better domain. It's too common.)
Never had an issue.

You Def don't want to work there then. Problem solved. Ceo is a fuck-face.

Nope 0 fucks given. Or would have to be @ashleymadison or @pornhub or something. and even then it may just net you an interview.
-
My boss never cared about my disroot email. He just asked what is was
-
A lot of companies use Google mail anyways so your emails will be scanned regardless.
-
And "firstname.purpose"?
-
It depends.
I judge people harshly for still using yahoo email. You disgusting fucks know who you are. Just look at yourselves. Ugh. /s
-
and not reciprocate any loyalty they receive.
You get far bigger payment increase if you are not loyal.
-
i still have the yahoo account i created back in the 90's and i can't rid of it because of the nostalgia it inspires, so i mostly use it for spam whenever some random site wants me to sign up.

What do you think they think when they see an AOL email
-
I don't think it should matter and if it did matter, do you really want to work for such small-minded judgmental people? The people who would care about an uncommon email domain would probably also see it as a "red flag" if you say that you don't use certain social media sites. Don't waste your time playing pointless image games.
-
I use public@mydomain. Hasn't negatively affected me. I created a burner Gmail account for a Google Meet interview and then tossed it aside after. I've been hired for two jobs in eight years using the public@ address.
-
What you did with that time is our own business. The only thing that matters is why your current skills are relevent for the job.
