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?

When places look at resumes, they’re looking at communication skills, education, experience, and work history. They’re looking for lies and exaggerations. The poor bastards have probably been through 60 resumes a day and they’re just hoping to find a keyword here or there that isn’t like the other 60 resumes.
If they’re unscrupulous they’re also looking at your name and trying to figure out your race/gender.
As long as the email address and content you provide exudes professionalism, and the email works, They don’t care at all.
As far as privacy, forget it. The business you are working with is already certainly using Microsoft or Google, they’re vetting your email address and content through a spam filter. In most cases you are private email has no longer private the second it gets to any company.
I thought Google Workspace mailboxes aren’t scanned?
They do say that. And I can’t say they’d tell us if they started. But for the moment let’s assume they still don’t. I also can’t say that they’d tell us if the government asked them to. But let’s put a pin in that too.
They do not claim not to scan the SMTP and mail transport. We know that they do scan it try to discern spam.
Do you trust them not to sell that juicy email they just scanned from an external email address?
Google Workspaces still have spam filtering in place, it’d be unusable if not. Admins can create rules for additional scanning if needed. You could also check the MX record to see if you’re actually sending to Google first, or a third party scanner who then forwards to Google Workspace.
