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?
Huge deal.
AOL, Yahoo and SBC emails are considered “Someone too stuck in their ways and is using an unsafe email platform because they are some old fart who doesn’t like change and still uses POP access in 2023.”
Been in the field about 20 years. live.com never done me wrong.
OP is 25. None of what you’re talking about could possibly apply to them.
