hi,
this is in reply to an old thread, but none the less. take a look at the job pages of leading dailies - how many actually mention explicitly the format ? this is an outcome of "wordprocessed document=MS Word document" that plagues a lot of such organisations. Oh by the way, recently a friend had the misfortune of sending in a OO document saved as .doc for a job - received a reply that they do not support using 'pirated software' and this is from a leading MNC DTP company ! the hitch in this case was that although they have a template - this 'should' be used only with MS Word 2000. this would have meant an upgrade for my friend and he circumvented with OOv1.1
i really fail to understand why do companies not accept plain text or html resumes - saves both parties enormous amount of trouble. perhaps appropriate fora (does one to admit proposals along these lines exist ?) should be approached.
regards sankarshan
