A problem I found with CVs is that recruiters often ask you to resend it in word doc form (I guess so they can edit it and remove your contact info). Also if your keeping your linkedin profile up to date then your effectively doubling your effort. What I found really handy recently was linkedin's resume builder ( http://resume.linkedinlabs.com/ http://resume.linkedinlabs.com/ ) which takes your linkedin profile and creates a resume from it. There are many styles to choose from and you can pick which info goes into it. As for recruiters that ask for doc format I could say no but what I do is take the pdf and convert it to doc (it loses some of the formatting) but also explain that to the recruiter.
