Likewise, it seems in the UK Infosec industry recruiters send CVs in Word format where possible (and usually track changes), whereas individuals tend to send PDFs generated in Word, OpenOffice or commonly (for technical folk) Latex.
Recruiters hate Latex.
- Silhouette 17y ago> Recruiters hate Latex. Since when? I've made my PDF CVs using LaTeX (XeLaTeX, actually) for years. I've never had a problem, and I get the occasional comment about how nicely presented the CV is. Agencies hate PDFs in general, since they can't mess around with them as easily, but that's their problem.
- loup-vaillant 17y agoWait a minute: Do you mean LaTeX source code, or LaTeX generated PDF, or just PDF? And what do you mean by "recruiters"? The guy you will work with? the HR people? Or the agencies? Most of all, why do "recruiters" hate "Latex"? (This is a real question, whose response might serve me soon.)
- roundsquare 17y agoI'm going to guess here but... I think @iuguy meant LaTeX source code. PDF from latex is probably fine. Why do they hate it? Because most of them probably can't open it.
