As a professional resume editor, I am still forced to rely on MS Word since headhunters and often internal HR require it. If you use a more "sophisticated" toolset like Latex and have the liberty, try to send your resume in pdf since I see way too many MS Word resumes with formatting all screwed up. You can't be sure what app/version the reader will be using. Working on an R-Markdown/Latex combo, this can work great for individuals (check github for examples) but hard to quickly switch for larger volumes of client work since nearly everyone has a different background and so the sections need to be tweaked. Was a real bummer json resume as a standard didn't take off particularly due to the non-rendering of MS Word versions. PDF was also an issue. Vince Fulco, CFA, CAIA vfulco[@]weisisheng.cn
