RE: Interviewing "under the hood"?

["Dick Margulis " <margulis -at- mail -dot- fiam -dot- net>]

Adrienne,

In a perfect world, everyone would gladly accept PDF résumés. I think you'll find that a great many companies, though, demand either plain text (which has some gotchas in terms of formatting, because all plain text is not created equal) or .doc (which has some gotchas in terms of formatting, because pagination depends on the recipient's default printer).

It's hard to win, but the surest way to lose is to send them a format they don't accept.
