Have any of you heard up Posteo being flagged unprofessional? I recently heard someone say that I am curious if there is truth to it.
As a personal email its just fine. I’ve had people comment on the fact that my “firstname.lastname@posteo.org” made me seem more professional than others using whatever @gmail.com address they could get their hands on.
Anything beside the own domain is unprofessional, if you run a business.
As an individual i think it speaks for yourself as caring about the environment and privacy.
I actually don’t care about the environment and I realize email is never going to be private. I like Posteo as it avoids the feature creep.
Try cock.li
Emails like
user@cocaine.ninja
is fine for random internet shitposting, but if I had to use cockmail for anything involving real life responsibilities I’d go for domains likeairmail.cc
orfiremail.cc
at registration.I use one from the first group as my work email 👍
To be honest, I am tempted to use one of the edgier domain names in my CV just to see their reaction. I’m tired of faking everything’s perfect just so the crazies at LinkedIn doesn’t send my cv to trash bin.
People said Gmail was unprofessional in 2005, don’t worry too much about what business majors think.
It still is.
If there’s one thing the corporate world takes seriously, it’s concerns about the Googleopoly.
It’s like the green/ blue bubbles thing. Anyone who overemphasizes superficial things like that aren’t worth your time. What matters in a professional environment is the value behind the communique. If the real bill gates messages you from a Hotmail account, you’ld probably want to pay attention.
