Maybe I am an odd duck, but when I have been the guy looking at resumes and shit, I made a note not to read peoples email addresses. I don't care if your email is cumdumpster19 I care if you know how to configure a firewall. But I think most people look for reason to round file a resume and not reasons to say yes to an applicant.
This is exactly my take as well. The means by which you got your CV on my desk is irrelevant to me. In fact, the CV itself is like the pretty picture on a bottle of wine that persuades me to choose it over the other basically identical pinots. And shorts and a t–shirt looks as professional to me as a suit. Actually better because suits give me C suite vibes. I literally only want to have a conversation and see how much you sound like you've done this before and know how to not fuck it up.
Sorry to bother you but, any recommendations for several year work gap on my resume ?
YMMV based on the company you're applying to and how thoroughly theyre going to vet past work history, but I managed to land my current job by just putting "June 2024" as my leaving date instead of "June 2022" and just said the company recently restructured and did layoffs.
