    You wouldn’t believe the amount of unprofessional email addresses I saw when I used to do hiring. It sounds like a meme but please think before using bigjuicy69@hotmail.com as your contact email!

      With the amount of times I hear employers selling the info… I think giving a throwaway email on the application is probably just a safety concern at this point. Not sure I would put that much stock in what the email name is.

        A throwaway email is one thing, but if you can’t be assed to make a non-offensive, non-edgy, bland email address for a job application/resume, I’m not waisting my time interviewing you. It’s the same with typos, details matter for those 15 seconds your app crosses a desk.

          That is a fair point, just making a bland email address is probably the right call. Though if a typo bother you that much, you may want to reread your post.
