I still use gmail as my spam catcher/throwaway account

Odd to use it as part of job hunting though, which is the context in this image.

not really... when job hunting most people have to spam the world with CVs and nowadays that also includes registering in a ton of shitty services so you can post your resume or get contact info... once hired, you would use the company's email so whatever you provided first is usually irrelevant

I use it at my "catch other people's emails" account, tho so far I haven't been quick enough on the draw to do cool stuff like slurping account creation tokens, goodie delivieries or stuff like that.
