  • Open Google.com and click the Sign In button at the top right of your screen. If you are already signed in, log out first.

  • Click the Use another account link to begin setting up a new account.

  • Click the Create account link.

  • Fill in your first and last name, birthdate and any other fields until you arrive at the username screen. The screen may look like this:

  • Under the "Username" box is a link that says "Use your existing email" which, when clicked, will allow you to use your work-issued email address. Click the link.

  • Enter your work-issued email address in the box. Make sure you have appropriate permissions from your workplace before continuing.

  • Click Next and finish filling the rest of the form.
