When I had to make my first (reasonably) professional looking CV while applying for undergrad Co-Op jobs last Winter, I chose to do it Latex and tweaked the moderncv template (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv/ http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/modernc...).
Since nearly everyone else's resume is written in Word or some other word processor, every employer noted that it was exceptionally well done.
Time well spent : ).
- dLuna 16y agoI've had problems with my moderncv based CV. Some companies want the CV to be in DOC. On the one hand I could just say that I don't want to work in such a company, but when it's the recruiter and not the company demanding it, I don't really know what to do. (At the moment I'll just send them a link to one of the PDF to DOC sites that are all over internet.)
- arghnoname 16y agoI've used latex2rtf for such things, followed by some light manual fixups and saving as .doc. It's annoying and I tend to consider if I really want to apply to such a company or not, but sometimes it is worth the extra hassle.
