No, no you can't. It requires an upload of a PDF/DOC/DOCX in order to submit the form.

  Just an idea, but you'll probably find your time better spent building and submitting a doc, than complaining to your potential future employer.

    An employer that only accepts word and PDF documents for my 'resume' isn't one I want to work for. You'd think that'd be clear from my displeasure with their rather factory-oriented submission process. I'm not in need of a job right now, I am poking around because I'd like to have some side work for when I leave the country. Not mandatory by any means. Just an idea, but you may want to get off your high horse and go do something useful other than criticizing people trying to discuss something.

      Is it safe to assume you won't be using your posting history on HN as a form of character reference? :)

      " I am poking around because I'd like to have some side work for when I leave the country" so you do need a job then, eh?

    I've passed job ads and headhunter calls that require resumes in Word only or just ignore it and submit in pdf/html/text.

      See? I'm not the only one.

        You are handling this differently in that you're having a fuss over it instead of just ignoring it.

        It started with my making a note of it. It's other people that inflated the balloon with hydrogen, now I'm just riding it into the volcano.

    I think the minute he starts complaining about the company, is the minute it's no longer appropriate to call it his future company! Academically, he's trying to serve up a point. But he's potentially doing more damage to himself by doing so.

      "Damage" I don't need a job right now and as I mentioned elsewhere, this kind of thing usually takes a company out of the running for me anyway.
