Should i avoid google accounts?
There is a lot of confusion right now with me and my search for a job. I am aware of the scams with the fake checks, but am I skipping out on an opportunity simply because I'm avoiding the interviews on google accounts?

I think it depends on the initial contact you've had.
If you've applied through a company's website or in person, but then they use some Google service as part of the interview process, that's fine (I've had a couple job applications go through that). However, if people are emailing you randomly with those details, or you see posting on job boards which seem to jump to that directly, I think that's a big red flag to you that it's probably a scam.

If you get an offer for an interview and it's through Google Hangouts and you're not entirely sure if it's legit or not you can always ask me! I'm available at askemily@jobcase.com
