Years ago, my application for my dream agency was rejected. But I didn't let that stop me. I kept working hard and kept applying. And after years of hustling, adding to my portfolio, and applying, they finally blocked my email and IP address.

It’s just yourgmail+__any valid characters__ @gmail.com.

eg. If your Gmail is creativepants@gmail.com:
creativepants+1@gmail.com
creativepants+loveme@gmail.com
creativepants+hire_me@gmail.com

All will go to your Gmail. This is also helpful for folder rules, archiving rules, etc. 😉
