Will using non-gmail hurt my chance of getting hired?
-
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.
-
experience teaches me that your likeability matters more
-
The roles I've hired for require formal presentation of work/studies with a certain level of attention to detail, and more internal politics than I care to admit.
So while its never the sole deciding factor in a resume I do put weight on spelling, formatting, and general professionalism. If your email is
[email protected], or[email protected]I'm not immediately binning it, but you are starting from a disadvantage.[email protected]is always gonna be just fine though. -
It will not hurt your chances.
-
I don't see any reason why it would affect your application(s) in the slightest. A good CV is a good CV. You could have @goatfondler.com for all I care.
-
Protonmail is a widely used and common email provider. There is no reason why an employer would be prejudiced against your application based on you having a Protonmail address. I think a far more common thing employers think about when seeing applicants' email addresses are things like "haha, they're still using their email address from when they were 8 of alexdaboss at gmail dot com", but I highly doubt they care about what domain it's on unless you've got like a pornhub.com address or something.
-
by moving to a different employer, i guess.
did you mean by betraying coworkers? maybe some people like that idea. I'm strongly against it.
either way, i would avoid such a company.
