Email address for resume

I am privacy conscious so I would like to use my proton.me account, but I wanted some advice. Should I use my gmail account for career related purposes or should a proton.me address be fine?

Should I use my gmail account for career related purposes or should a proton.me address be fine?

I've worked at a couple of places where it was a kind of "badge of pride" to be more in control of your email e.g. tech companies dealing with infrastructure/hosting. And then of course there is, what I imagine, the vast majority of places which could not care less.
- Why do you type with
  
  random parts
  
  split by carraige
  
  return.
  
  It makes me read it like Captain Kirk.
  
  Haha yeah I've written a fediverse system which connects email and activitypub. Writing these from my regular email client (more info if interested: https://apubtest2.srcbeat.com/apas.html) Looks like what I'm gonna do is delete all carriage returns out just before it's sent out to the fediverse. Thanks for spotting that!
  
  Out of curiosity from which app/client/frontend did you notice this?
  
  On lemmy for iPhone you’re just skipping spaces “randomly” (where your carriage returns are, I’m guessing). It looks like:

  Or Memmy or one of the apps from the app store?
  
  Memmy, sorry.
  
  what client are you using? i dont think most render single linebreaks
  
  Ah good spot. Sync for Lemmy renders the new lines.
  
  Still don't know why they are there in the first place :)
  
  perhaps habit? i know many people write markdown documents that way, it can help with editors which dont wrap text, and may be better for using grep and related line-based tools.
  
  Ah so if you really want to know, it's because one of the mail clients I use quoted-printable encodes the body when sending a message with lines >80-ish characters.
  
  I haven't implemented a decoder on the other end. My current workaround is to pipe everything through fmt before it goes out.

  Yes I also actually do this too; I'm a fan of semantic line feeds.
  
  In case you couldn't tell, the whole system is a WIP ;)
  
  :-)
