I normally use an outlook email because I can have username@outlook instead of user.name2392.stuff@gmail, also outlook advertisement is less intrusive.

I'm under the impression that it turns recruiters away, can this be right?

[Edit]: Yes/No is enough, no need to downvote.

If you’re mainly interested in having a clean username, why not purchase your own domain? If you pay for a small vps, most registrars will host an email server at no extra cost.
Yeah, do I have a domain name and used my own domain with gmail. But it sounds volatile to me, if (for some reason) I lose my domain I'd miss a good part of my communications. Thanks for your advice, I'll see what I can do.
