I’m 25 and have had my AOL email since before I was born, set up by my parents. In the late 90’s and early 00’s every now and then they would send a few photos to it perhaps with an accompanying story of anything that they’d want me to remember. I then used it as my main email and have continued to till this day.
During a job interview today I was told I was great fit but they weren’t sure about my email address!
Apparently they can tell a lot about a person just from the fact they have an AOL email address in 2023.
Has anyone else had something similar, is it actually a big deal?
In tech support?
Yeah. You can. I’d assume you were totally incompetent if you still used AOL (and their email) as your primary means of connectivity in 2023.
Though, I’d also expect to see this in a person 60+ years of age.
