TL;DR version: Sent CV by email and Gmail put it in the recipient's spam folder, which cost this person an interview (the position was filled by the time this was checked). Then the post goes on tangents about Gmail and Google.
Forget about a CV, I think it's impossible to say which of your emails to any Gmail recipient would even go to their inboxes. Gmail has a very aggressive, as well as stupid, spam filter. I've seen emails go into spam even after adding an address to my contacts list and marking mails in the spam folder from some contacts as Not Spam.
When it originally arrived, Gmail really revolutionized how web based email ought to be done. Now it's just a bloated and buggy mess that has managed to get a very large user base. I shudder to think how (paid) GSuite accounts also lose genuine emails to spam.
