I often recruit people with about 10 years of career experience. I reject applications from people whose e-mail address has digits in the username. I could never respect anyone who just accepts the first username offered by a platform.

@fesshole Cool, congrats on ignoring quality employees lol
@fesshole If your name is Jane Smith, change it to Tangerina Warblesworth for career success
@fesshole you don’t know that that was the first offer.
@fesshole back when I were getting my first email address, I had the pick of the bunch! No laziness here, got my name first time! Been hired for to jobs ever since! - John Smith

@fesshole I often recruit idiots with about ten years of experience or more. Why? Because There are a lot of them. One such example are those who would make the singular assumption, which has about as much chance of being true as someone picking the exact reason out of a million reasons every single time, that someone's email address which contains numbers was a decision made of them by a given email system, or that the person is unrecruitable simply due to this fact. But you do you.
@fesshole Interesting assumption that the digits are the first ones offered by the platform.
@fesshole you played well old man!
Can't complain about quality because of your experience criteria. This post for sure gonna make a lot of people made if they wouldn't pay attention.
On the other hand I would totes hire someone with the email

@fesshole Not even 007?!
@fesshole
The pickiness about digits in names is stupid. I've used digits in my email addresses when someone else had the name I want, so I tack on some digits. I also have 30+ years of career experience and I'm good at what I do.
