In order to receive messages online (for example responses from job applications you submit), you will need an email address.  The good news is there are many providers that offer free email accounts. Some of those are listed below. Please remember when you are selecting a title/name for your email address that you pick something you  don’t mind a future employer seeing. A good rule of thumb is first name or initial and last name (example: johndoe@gmail.com). Free email service providers and websites where you can sign up:

• https://login.aol.com/account/createGmail (RECOMMENDED–works well with Chromebooks and Google Docs)
• Other providers include:
  • Yahoo
  • AOL
  • Outlook

To get an email address form any of these providers, you will need to create an account online. If you have trouble accessing these websites, you can find the online sign-up pages for any of these providers by searching through Google – type into the Google search box: sign up page for [name of provider]. When setting up your account, you will be asked for your mobile phone number.
