Can you be discriminated against based on your email address?

Did you know that your email address matters when looking for a job? Using older domains like hotmail, aol, and yahoo can be perceived as "vintage" (and not in the hipster microbrewery way).
Quick tip to my fellow seasoned jobseekers: Consider creating a gmail email account just for your #jobsearch

I synced up my outlook to my Hotmail. So I have two in one email set up. My company uses outlook as well. I think outlook is another good option to Gmail. I wouldn’t use hotmail or yahoo.

I would hope not. I mean you wouldn't wanna use an email that said noworkforme....on a resume. That's common sense.
