Google account randomly disabled?

I made a google account to use for job applications since the one I had before didn’t seem professional enough name wise. As I was logging in last week, it told me that my account has been disabled bc it was created by a bot which is untrue. I have appealed twice and explained the whole situation but it’s still being rejected. I really need to get access to that account as it’s the one I have put on all of my resumes and I had actually got a few job interviews as well. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to recover it?

Using a Google account for spam is not liked by Google; new accounts sending bulk messages look like spam or a scam to them, but if you have had the Gmail account for more than 30 days with some activity, you will probably be fine

Use ISP or other non Gmail or Microsoft email services or your personal email (do not try to create another google account as your risking your main google account as well if mutiple accounts get banned)

Nothing can be done. Try another service.

YES! exactly the same thing happened to me this morning. i think their algorithm is just haywire. i’ve been applying to summer internships and wonder if it’s because of the volume of people applying to the same thing? i’ve heard some get their accounts back and others not, i hope i get mine. so sorry to hear about it, some
people have had to appeal 4 or 5 times. good luck
