If your resume still says @aol.com, recruiters can guess your generation before they read your name.
In this episode of the Ageism Survival Guide, host John Stech breaks down a small detail that creates a big first impression. The problem is simple. Legacy addresses from AOL, Hotmail and Yahoo act as silent age markers. The impact is real. In a fast resume scan they can trigger assumptions about tech currency and fit, especially for professionals over 50. The resolution is practical. You can age proof your inbox in one weekend without losing old messages.
John knows this one personally. He scrubbed his old Yahoo address in the mid 2000s for a Gmail address and never looked back.
In this episode you will learn why these domains date you, how they filter you in hiring, what research from AARP and Business Insider says about recruiter bias, and which modern options help you look current.
