Ask HN: It's 2016, what software/tools do you use to write your resume?
Just wondering if anything's changed in the last 10-15 years in terms of software used specifically for the purpose of writing a resume? Or is MS Word still the de facto standard tool?
- greenyoda 11y agoWhy pay for MS Office when you can get LibreOffice for free? (It can even produce Word-readable files.) I'm not sure why I'd need specialized software for editing a resume. It's a short and simple document that any word processor can easily handle.
- orionblastar 11y agoAgreed, LibreOffice is free and it handles some of the MS-Office documents formats as well in case your potential employer needs a Word document or something. https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ Even has torrents to download it via BitTorrent. I hope other FOSS apps use Torrents to download them, it is a better way to download and not have Internet timeout errors cancel your download.
