Sometime Today, VP cobbled together some glyphs to say:
You have company and advertize for jobs, you INSIST on ODT or any open standard for accepting resumes. Then come what may people(including placement agencies) WILL use that format to send a resume to you. Who know's
No they won't. I've done this in the past, and I've received resumes in .doc format, and I've written back telling the candidate that their application wasn't considered because I couldn't read their resume.
for the record, I actually cannot read .doc or .ppt files because OoO on my FreeBSD 4.11 box causes a kernel panic everytime I start it up. I use gnumeric to open .xls files, which is fine because spreadsheets are cool.
