I am looking for new jobs as a Cloud Engineer. Being privacy conscious makes the job hunt relatively hard. I don’t use LinkedIn. But most companies publish their openings on websites like this and almost all of them are a privacy nightmare.
As soon as you make an account on them, you are bombarded with thousands of emails and targeted ads. But if I made a temporary email for this purpose, I feel I might get blacklisted.
Honestly I feel kind of sad about today’s corporate field.
When you are job hunting you don’t want privacy, you want your info (i.e. your cv) as widely distributed and known as possible. Create a dedicated gmail account.
The key is to keep your professional internet profile andnl your private digital life separated.
