Sean: (respectfully, hope first name is OK here)
I tried to place a couple entries, on work experience, and here is what happened:
Clicked in the highlighted 'provide background details' and (smart phone) screen went to
"docs.google.com" plus it noted 'must be signed in'.
Sooo, I clicked on 'SIGN IN', and the familiar Google dialog on that page offered to let me use 'my Google email' account. The pretense being that only Google provides email. Actually, I use yahoo, but that won't work. Some folks ask what's the big deal ?
I have email, and previously spent lots of time / energy simply trying to put 'Yahoo' system email, on my Google phone. All personal 'pet peeves' aside, this is business, right ?
And so, to conduct my/our business I am required to drop my email carrier, and re-adopt the Google carrier / host. What happens, when Yahoo takes that tactic: forcing only user@yahoo.com as (a job applicant). Then, I would switch back, I suppose.
But I don't, instinctively, comply. It's an animal instinct, perhaps. Ever try to push a cat through a doorway, into a room, no obvious danger anyway?
Maybe over-reacting in this post, sorry, but it's business
and I simply react to mandatory where there is no common sense justification.
Plus, I had a bit of extra time, to extend courtesy of explanation, (rather than simply walking away.)
Thank you. - Rick
