Hi, I am unable to sign in or create an account on the new Microsoft Careers site.

Whenever I try to sign in using:

  • Microsoft account
  • Google account
  • LinkedIn account
  • Facebook account

… I get the error:

“We don't recognize this email. Create a new account.”

But I already have a valid Microsoft account, and I can sign in everywhere else (Outlook, Microsoft Account page, Windows, etc.).

I also tried:

  • Different browsers (Chrome, Edge)
  • Incognito mode
  • Clearing cookies/cache
  • Signing in from my phone
  • Contacting the old Microsoft Careers email (it bounced)
  • Visiting old support links (404 / retired platform)

Nothing works.

It looks like something is broken on Microsoft’s end with the new Careers site.

Can someone from Microsoft please reset my Careers profile or help activate my account so I can apply for jobs?

Thank you.
