Might be worth noting if you're going through a recruiter they specifically want an MS word doc so they can remove your contact details and put their logo on your CV. The more shady ones will even add keywords and stuff to your CV.
- drinchev 13y agoSo what's the point in doing this, when employers can just google my name and make direct contact?
- toble 13y agoThey strip out the details that can personally identify you. When the employer gets your CV, you are merely a reference number. Think about it the other way. Search for a job and look at ads from recruiters, if you're lucky you will see a vague description of the industry.
- Leander_B 13y agoMany recruiters are too lazy to change the job description of roles they recruit for. In case you find a role you are interested in that is with a recruiter, take out 7-8 words of the job responsibilities and do an exact search in Google. Moderate success rate.
