Does everyone have word version of his resume?

[calbear2000]

I'm building a form to upload resumes for a friend's company. I'm thinking of limiting it to just .doc files (just for simplicity).

Does everyone have a word version of their resume? I assume .doc and pdf are still the most popular formats...

Thanks

ODF. Any employer who wouldn't accept this format can suck my balls.

I have 3, .doc, .pdf., .txt.

you should offer .txt too so people like nanostuff can convert from odf to .txt easily.

.doc is the standard means to exchange documents.

so sure I have one.

Is this thread limited to AT members of the male persuasion?

I would think .doc is the most common.

What is ODF?

Odobe Document Format.

Accept .pdf it is more professional and it isn't as likely as word to screw up.

Ditto, although I strongly prefer giving out the PDF version. It's prettier, and always looks the same on anyone's computer.

A lot of companies only accept DOC or TXT though (esp. big companies that are reliant on keyword searches), so that's what they get.

So most employers, then?

doc which I just use CutePDF to produce pdf.

Some employers only want resumes in plain text to:
- keep macro viruses away.
- make it easy to search for keywords in documents and/or dump them into databases.

I hate it when companies want you to copy and paste it into their internets. All the formating gets screwed up.

I keep a .doc and .pdf version.

open document format, the complete opposite of .doc

 

[dartworth]

I don't have a resume...

never have...

 

[amish]

just pdf and doc. everything else seems that it would just be another file that never gets used...just like every other file of my resume.

HTML.

I hated my school's system. They accepted only doc and pdf and they had a 200k limit on it. My Word 2007 was obviously incompatible with their pathetic system so I had to export to PDF which came out to 206k. I was extremely pissed. 200k limit. What a joke.

I think .doc and .pdf are reasonable if you want to start with those. Txt is the next step. Then comes RTF and HTML. Cap it there.
