Using Gmail Email filters in your job search with the + (plus) addressing that Gmail allows, you can create unique extended email addresses to use on resumes and other documents, also for signing up on websites, to keep track of where you are getting information emailed from based on the keyword or “filter” you put after the + (plus) sign and before the @ (at) sign on your gmail email filter.

Selecting a suitable email address for your job search, some examples being firstnamelastname@domain.com, firstname.lastname@domain.com or some variation of those. Why it’s not recommended to use ‘cute’ handles in email addresses during your job search.
