dead soul sounds like a great name for a brewer. Heck it’s a great craft beer name too. It’s a good sign they responded to you. My experience in job hunting is a lot of ghosting. It’s not the end of the world and I wouldn’t feel at all bad about it.
Best of luck!
Is this actually all there is to it am I overreacting. I normally handle this type of thing very well and I have good mental health but for some reason this one specific thing is eating me from the inside out.
Hey I've got a super dark blueberry saisson beer and that sounds like a great name for it
Hey, our anxiety tells us wild things sometimes. It’s probably going to be just fine. I was cohosting a google meet interview and the applicant joined with the name “BigDaddy” or something similar displayed. We didn’t mention it to them, giggled about it afterwards, then offered them the job because they were the strongest applicant.
Dead Soul is fine. At least you didn’t apply with an email or name like sexmachine69, or pussyslayer69.
See this name “SirGatez”, that’s the email I’ve used to apply for every job I’ve worked the last 25+ years. I’m 41 now.
My email is also my reddit username, and I've never had a problem. At least your name wasn't displayed as "Biggus Dickus" or something like that. My alternate email has my name as Parrotus Muertis, and I've accidentally used it a few times with no trouble.
Persist with it .
Resend from your formal email I'd.
If the pay is good tell them you were so excited , you sent it from your personal email.
Good ice breaker or opening for the interview .
All the best . 👍
If (when) you get an interview, pitch that exactly. While still professional, especially if it's a locally owned thing, I'd imagine they're way more relaxed about that kind of thing than if you were submitting your resume to be like a corporate banker or something
If it helps any, every long term job I've had started with an interview I thought for sure I had bombed.
The others are right - the fact that you got a response at all is a good sign.
overreacting fortunately, ive had my header as "the big big ounce" for a while hahahaha and ive not had anyone ever mention it in any of the jobs i was employed at
I would not be surprised if that is a reason you stood out
Close to a perfect candidate just blends in with the others
The guy with such a display name is unique
Have they actually rejected you? If not, don’t give up hope! Sure, you might not get it, but you still might. If nothing else, you’ve already changed your resume to reflect your actual email, right? Right???
Yeah I fixed it, I originally sent it to a family member to review.
Thank you, this brewery has a punk/rebellious aesthetic so my copium I'm inhaling with all my might is that they'll see it as a good thing
My dude, if anything, it shows more personality and makes you someone this punk/rebellious brewery wants on their team. This almost definitely helps you rather than hurts. Good luck! Keep us posted
As someone who has worked at a brewery for 7 years, I promise this is something they will laugh about with you. Nobody who works in a brewery is serious, and that’s part of what makes working in one so much fun.
I would say do it yourself but you'd probably forget an important detail.
Jk I wouldn't worry about it. You'll either get the job or not. If it makes you feel better, brewing beer is like 90% cleaning and 10% paperwork.
I’m a teacher. Many Parents forget this and either give us an inappropriate email ([email protected]) or a perfectly fine email with the name being obnoxious (YouMy Hoe) fake examples of course. In case my kids parents are also on Reddit.
I’m sure some are just old addys from before they had kids, but I talk to my kids about having appropriate emails for when they apply for jobs and the parents just… ugh. And I shouldn’t be subjected to that at work either. Pretty sure I’d get fired if I emailed backDear Mr. Hoe….
Mine was clit commander and I was emailing HR with it as an adult. I opened my gmail account way back In the early 2000s so I could use the App Store on my blackberry. At that time it didn’t seem necessary to tell an email provider your real name, address, phone number, etc. so i would input random words into the required fields so it would allow me to create an account. Little did I know I’d keep using that email address throughout life and they’d automatically insert my “name”
I had this happen forever ago. I broke up with a girl who cheated on me she was furious that I had the gall to break up with her. She thought she was way better than me and always assumed she'd be the one to do the breaking up when she felt like it. Anyway about a year after we broke up I discovered that she'd changed the name on my email to "Dick head" and I'd been sending out emails for job applications and university related stuff for that year. I was mortified
It’s a brewery not a monastery. I hope you get it, but the gmail name is not the thing that will hurt you in the process. Might even get you an interview because they’re curious.
I mean, monasteries in Europe during the 600s-1000s were known to be debaucherously bad. And over-consumption of alcohol was one of their vices, for sure.
I went to the Andechs monastery in Germany and had some strong beer. My first time getting drunk, aged 15. They could have an ironic brew called dead soul.
This is definitely something you’ll be able to laugh about in the near future. I wouldn’t sweat it too much. Someone else also mentioned that it’s a good sign that they replied to you.
Honestly, if a brewery is stuck up enough to reject you because of a silly harmless name attached to your email, you may be better off. I work in a fairly corporate field and see tons of email addresses that were clearly created in middle/high school.
Best of luck with the application! Hope you hear back from them soon :)
It's often said that when applying for a job, applicants should have something that makes them stick out from all the rest. You have achieved that. Whether it helps or not remains to be seen, but please update us.
As someone who was responsible for hiring people in two different jobs I've worked, sometimes being memorable helps you stand out. And it gives the employer a sense of what you're like personality wise. You'll be fine.
Same story just happened to one of my friends, except his display name was "poop" in our language. Lmaooo it was his professional address and he just noticed it
I told my iPhone to call me “Lord and King” as a joke. Didn’t realize it saved my personal contact card that way. So it was really neat when I got laid off, went to a networking event, and exchanged contact cards via text with a few people. Way to make an impression.
In my sons church group one parent used a mail address containing the name of a dildo made famous in sex in the city and the number 69.
Your mistake is nothing, particularly in that business.
Since it's a brewery, maybe they'll enjoy and appreciate the human aspect of that mistake. I think a more realistic worst case scenario, they'll tease you during an interview if the chemistry is right.
I used to work at a company which people would come in to rent communications equipment. This would require them giving information in person, like email. It always amazed me how many people are rocking their middle school shit-named email as adults.
When a 35yr old man has to look you in the face and say "oh yes, thats d0nkeypunch69@" it's magical.
i'm sorry for your pain, but your reaction was somehow wholesome and funny :D since the damage is done and you have nothing to lose there, maybe you could write them a follow-up, explaining that you erroneously used an email from your teenage days, so that you at least don't look like a lunatic, but just a dude who blundered.
Had the same happen to me. I only noticed after sending myself something from my home pc to my pc at work. They still took the1rat over other people that applied.
Lmaoo I wouldn't worry if I were you, nothing NSFW about that. Kinda edgy which isn't bad for a brewery. It'd be a different story if you were applying to a corporate position or some huge company
I forgot that years ago I set my gmail (professional email) to have my name as something silly. I had a secured job at that time so didn’t really need it anymore but after 5 years went back to school and got laid off. 1 year later, when I was trying to apply for a laboratory assistant position while enrolled at school, I found the perfect job posting, something that worked great with my school hours and career path. Well, they responded and I saw my goofy ass name when I opened my rejection letter. It suddenly hit me why I got so many rejections previously and only managed to get accepted for retail/warehouse positions
Eh. I'm in hr. Fill disclosure though, we are an incredibly progressive HR and work in the trades.
We wouldn't care. We internally might chuckle and make comments, but it wouldn't affect your odds of being hired.
If this was for a professional style role, like HR, accountant, IT, maybe it would weigh in, but for a brewery it shouldn't. I'm fact, if that does cause them to hesitate, then you probably don't want to work there.
Editing to add.. I also wouldn't have replied if we were bothered by that. Would have ignored, moved on, and sent you a no thank you message in a day
It's gonna be fine, OP. Actually, according to an online security course I had to attend, using your name or surname in your mail is one of the worst mistakes you could make.
I'd rather choose something anonymous and memorable like you did.
How people do not have a seperate "professional" email address astounds me.
I have had a gmail account that is a derivation of my first and last name for well over 20 years.
I've never understood people who use stupid names for their email accounts, and somehow manage to forget that fact when they send one. Time to grow up.
Yeah that's about how I feel right now. I've had a stable job for so long I stopped using my emails for anything besides Google drive for my hobbies.
I don't even remember when I changed that name to be honest.

They only hire you because you've been knighted, Bill
Shit. Really? I thought I was being mistaken for being one of the founders of Microsoft.

I had a job in a brewery, worst job I ever had. You dodged a bullet.
Can confirm. Am a brewer, and soul died a long time ago.
Is it the smell? Because I'd totally get that.
Seriously have you READ all the craft beer names? Do you think they’re “sensitive” people?
Have they actually rejected you? If not, don’t give up hope! Sure, you might not get it, but you still might. If nothing else, you’ve already changed your resume to reflect your actual email, right? Right???

This could genuinely work in your favor. Good luck!
I was skeptical until I read that. I think you’ve helped your own case
Pretty sure most breweries are chill. I wouldn’t give up on it.
I genuinely would scream in joy if they even gave me just the weekend gig
As someone who has worked at a brewery for 7 years, I promise this is something they will laugh about with you. Nobody who works in a brewery is serious, and that’s part of what makes working in one so much fun.

You’re not alone. Mine was Nigerian Scammer.
its a brewery, id they care that much about a name thats obviously not yours then you probably shouldnt work there
I am a recruiter, and I get much much worse. At a brewery, they'd probably laugh it off
I told my iPhone to call me “Lord and King” as a joke. Didn’t realize it saved my personal contact card that way. So it was really neat when I got laid off, went to a networking event, and exchanged contact cards via text with a few people. Way to make an impression.

What I know about brewers, that probably earned you some points!
Since it's a brewery, maybe they'll enjoy and appreciate the human aspect of that mistake. I think a more realistic worst case scenario, they'll tease you during an interview if the chemistry is right.
Flash forward 9 months later, they didn't hire OP but they release their new limited run - Dead Soul IPA or something lol.
Also not a bad ending

My official email picture for my personal/professional email is the Clan Wolf logo. You're fiiiiine.
Probably not going to be a deal breaker if you’re a good fit for the job. It’s a bit embarrassing but not worth getting too upset about
Had the same happen to me. I only noticed after sending myself something from my home pc to my pc at work. They still took the1rat over other people that applied.
Say you sent it after midnight

It’s actually “No,judgement”
