I’ve interviewed with a ton of FAANG and mid-tier companies using an old email address which I’ve used for other stuff like online shopping, banking and it’s getting pretty difficult to manage (lots of spam) I’m trying to move important stuff to one email account and have one for business/work purposes. I know companies like Google, Amazon have a system that requires you to register should I start with a clean slate or update the email address as I’ve gotten offers and I’m sure that helps with getting noticed
Have you heard of email services like trash mail? Also, Apple’s Hide My Email service is worth every penny. I use a different iCloud email for everything. It automatically sets it up for you. If I receive one junk Mail I can easily see which company sent it, deactivate the email and watch them go mad that they don’t have an email for me. I did it with LinkedIn they are just freaking upset lol I don’t even care to hit unsubscribe anymore. You send me a stupid email? BAM I deactivate my email that you got and won’t get any dumb email again. Obviously don’t do this with banks or important stuff lol
Why not banks?
So you won’t accidentally deactivate an email that you use for banks lol then you literally won’t receive a single email from them.
