I’m using Proton right now. Someone suggest I should get a Gmail instead for higher chance of success. Is that true? How risky is it for Google sanning those mails in terms of privacy?

      What you did with that time is our own business. The only thing that matters is why your current skills are relevent for the job.

      • Having cancer. It’s not just the cancer, the treatment is pretty hard on the body and mind. It’s been five years now and I don’t know if I will ever be able to get back to work.

      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.
