Maybe being a bit dim here...
I'm trying to apply for a job online. There is an 'apply for this position' tab, which when I click begins an Outlook wizard. I'm surprised it does that anyway, as normally such a tab begins an application form process. I don't have an Outlook account and don't particularly want one, but it's the only result the tab gives.
So, I try and complete the wizard by filling out all the fields, which includes my name, email address (my existing one is with yahoo), and password. When the wizard begins configuring it is able to establish a network connection, and it finds my yahoo address on the server. It cannot finish the third part, which is to log-on to the server and send a test email message. Without this happening the configuration process cannot complete - a pop-up appears which asks for me to re-enter my network password. I do this, but nothing happens. This step fails, so I'm unable to do anything else. It would seem that all I need to do is send an email to apply to the address I would be given at the end of the process, but I can't arrive there.
What am I doing wrong, and why would this tab want me to use Outlook? I have rung the company and been given a generic email address which I have contacted, as they know nothing about the recruitment side, but I don't hold out much hope of them replying.
