Are there any recruiters that accept these instead of the standard .doc format?
I get it - it's about 10,000X better than Word format (esp. if you don't particularly like Word) and a 9,000X better than PDF (which I prefer over .doc), but if a recruiter/agency/employer won't accept it in lieue of a Word file, then I'm not sure it has a future.
Any plans to get around that issue?
- cpcarey 12y agoYes, so I think that a resume builder that can't export to PDF or DOCX isn't going to last long for this exact reason. That's why I added and opened up the DOCX exporter even though it's still missing a lot of functionality. My hope is that something is better than nothing and a big goal of mine is to improve DOCX exporting over the next month. I'm not too knowledgeable on the DOC format other than it's a binary format and it's much harder to export to (AFAIK Google Docs can't even export to DOC). The best workaround I can offer is to export to DOCX, open in Microsoft Word, then save as a DOC. If the DOCX exporting is misbehaving, sit tight, it'll improve slowly but surely.
