‘They’ll pry my Yahoo email from my cold, dead hands’: A recruiter on TikTok just shared 4 controversial red flags that could cost you the job — and what you can do about it

It was a teenage rite of passage in the 2000s to create an email address that was cute, clever, or funny — but now that cringey reminder of your misspent youth could cost you a job.

Don't miss

A recruiter on TikTok has exposed what she calls the secrets of her industry to help job hunters across America succeed in their search. She lists several red flags that some — not all — recruiters look out for, a few of which may catch you by surprise.

Bonnie Dilber, a Seattle-based recruiting manager for the software development firm Zapier, set tongues wagging after she posted a TikTok video entitled: “You might be surprised to learn [what] some recruiters (NOT ME!!) hold against candidates.”

What some recruiters see as red flags, many commenters called out as simple discrimination.

Here are four things Dilber says could be held against you when job hunting — and what you may want to change:

Your email address

Dilber says there are two email-related issues that job hunters should be aware of.

“The first is using some sort of vintage, old-school account like AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo instead of something like Gmail,” she says.

“I don’t personally hold those things against people — and I’ve hired people with those email addresses — but I have heard recruiters talk about how it signals that someone isn’t using modern, up-to-date technology, and therefore, it just raises a flag for them.”

While you may not want to get rid of your classic — [email protected] — email for nostalgia’s sake, Dilber says it’s wise to get a fresh, professional Gmail account to apply for jobs.

    Orders surge for trans designer after Target pulls products

    Transgender designer Erik Carnell has seen a surge in demand for his pins, prints, stickers and T-shirts after U.S. retailer Target Corp pulled his products amid a backlash by some customers to its Pride collection, he said on Thursday. Target's Pride collection included more than 2,000 products from clothes and music to home furnishings, and while several are under review the only ones removed so far from its website and stores are from Carnell's brand Abprallen. Target said this year's Pride collection led to an increase in confrontations between customers and employees and incidents of Pride merchandise being thrown on the floor.

    Companies are finding it's not so simple to leave Russia. Some are quietly staying put

    When Russia invaded Ukraine, global companies were quick to respond, some announcing they would get out of Russia immediately, others curtailing imports or new investment. Billions of dollars' worth of factories, energy holdings and power plants were written off or put up for sale, accompanied by fierce condemnation of the war and expressions of solidarity with Ukraine. More than a year later, it’s clear: Leaving Russia was not as simple as the first announcements might have made it seem.

    The U.S. solicitor general on Tuesday urged the U.S. Supreme Court to reject an appeal by Apple Inc and Broadcom Inc stemming from their $1.1 billion trial loss to the California Institute of Technology in a patent infringement case. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar said the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit was correct when it ruled last year that the companies could not seek to invalidate Caltech's patents in court after Apple failed to raise its invalidity arguments at the U.S. Patent Office.

The agreement, approved by local authorities, will keep 250 jobs, mainly based at Michelin's sole Russian plant in Davydovo, the group said.

    Leon Black Wins Dismissal of Rape Suit

    A judge dismissed a lawsuit brought against Apollo Global Management co-founder and ex-CEO Leon Black by a woman who accused him of rape and defamation, likely bringing to an end a two-year legal saga. In a ruling Wednesday, New York State Supreme Court Justice David B. Cohen sided with Black in determining that Guzel Ganieva’s claims were invalid, largely because she signed a nondisclosure agreement with Black in 2015 under which she was paid about $9.5 million over the next six years. The judge said Ganieva received considerable financial benefits from the nondisclosure agreement, never tried to repudiate it or contest it and couldn’t argue that she signed it under duress.
