Wrong mail address on application form

My browser auto-filled my job application with the wrong email address. It's still my email, but it's not my professional one (e.g., [email protected]). Instead, it filled in an email like [email protected]—something similar but not in the standard "name.surname" format.

To give a concrete example, if John Doe used [email protected] instead of [email protected], it would be like my situation.

The email I used isn't cringy or unprofessional, but I’m concerned it might not make the best impression.

Am I screwed, or should I do something about it?

I am not sure if this is a troll post. That's how ridiculous I think the concern is (I'm sorry but if this is genuine I hope it's some relief).

I've never noticed an applicant's email address. Life is way too short.

The only scenario where there might be a risk is if you had a truly stupid or offensive (suckmydick@...) personal email. Don't worry

 

That's not a troll post, but completely understand where you are coming from. I think this fear might stem from conviction that it may indicate lack of attention to detail, not well-perceived in IB
