Will using non-gmail hurt my chance of getting hired?
-
It shouldn’t matter. When you get hired, they’ll give you a new email address to use.

I use [email protected]
I bought my firstlast.tld several years ago. Figure it would look good. I then put a modified resume on my domain but when I started to think about being a security professional that didn't seem like a good idea. I now have my domain bring up the IP, browser, and few other pieces of info and show it to whoever goes to the site. It either that or blank. -
As many have said, it shouldn't matter.
Personally, I have been known to look at email addresses because I assess everything the resume gives me. No, I don't really care what provider you choose, but it's a tiny bit of information.
So if your email name is "BigBootyQT" then I have a glimpse of your personality and how you may or may not fit in the role. That's a real example BTW.
It also might bear light in other ways, say if you're applying for a job in cybersscurity but you're using a yahoo email. Yeah, that's a negative mark.Will any of this be THE reason I ditch somebody? No. But it weighs with the rest of it. I would not disqualify somebody for a typo for instance, but it is a negative because that should not have occurred (especially of the role requires attention to detail).

You're hired!

harmlessdomain.comis available - I expect to see it registered by tomorrow or I'm never trusting a stranger on the internet ever again! -
They should not record the IP in the first place. It looks like you are right about using a VPN on top of their email service according to this.
-
Proton can be forced to log IP addresses via a Swiss Court order (at least for its Email service)
-
Ah, no, bad wording. By switching company after a few years, you get a far larger increase in payment than if you stay. At least in IT.
-
No, they don't care unless you been denied once, auto reject, they will reject if you apply again with the same email address
-
If you still care and your domain is still hitting spam filters, have you setup spf, dkim and dmarc for your domain?
-
No, I actually purchased a domain and mapped it to my proton mail, every time I share my business email, I get compliments towards how professional I am.
-
I think I had every thing setup correctly. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are all green in Proton. Still, mysteriously end up in spam folder when I test with friends.
