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?
I made my email back in the early 00s, and I couldn’t think of any names so I just gave you and made it “ihaveapc” @. So I feel judged, some people find it funny some think it’s stupid but that is why I use a different email for work/serious stuff.
