I have never heard anyone have problems with a PDF CV. If that's a disqualification reason... I don't know.
This is speaking of IT of course; if you are talking to a small business doing woodworking or whatever, all bets are off on what tech they can and cannot handle. I'd still bet on PDF more than doc(x), though, since maybe they don't have an expensive Word license but PDF should render in browsers.
- mongol 5y agoIt is actually not for employment, but as I work as consultant / contractor I have these agencies between me and possible customers. They enjoy to edit out any contact information from CVs to act as middlemen. It sucks but does not reflect on the actual assignment in the end.
- lucb1e 5y agoOh, okay yeah if they want to make edits, then giving them rendered output is indeed not the nice thing to do.
- fragmede 5y agoThere are still corners of the world where docx is the One True Format, and PDFs make you seem like the weirdo. I can easily imagine it being too different/difficult and a candidate being rejected from the enormous pile for that. The Internet has made it far more common to get outsized responses; eg 800 applicants for 3 positions, with no easy way to sort through them all.
