I prefer PDF. it is hard to edit. and changes cannot be done by the third party

Word format is the best.

Offcourse I know what the question was, and what I put up there should narrow his decision... They both have their importance and one just can't be written off. I know ATS prefers word documents but newer models of ATS also supports PDF.... A friend of mine forwarded her cv to me for review and it came with a very bad format, I could hardly even comprehend something's in the cv. Imagine that cv being sent to recruiters, there would definitely be no reply. This won't happen with a pdf formatted cv....

My point now is if you are sure and very comfortable your Ms word formatted cv won't be scattered when sent to recruiters, go ahead with it, else use a more reliable pdf cv, better still , send your cv twice, one with pdf the other with doc.

I don't support the idea of sending it in the two formats. Using a table with a simple font like Times New Roman in Word can keep everything including your formatting place. You can also save the work in .doc instead of .docx.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the cv of tha lady I talked about was in a tabular form. So imagine my frustration when her 2 pages cv scattered into 8 pages, I was meant to do a cv review, but I ended up reformatting her cv for her. She screamed in shock when I told her her cv was 8 paged. The fact that cv looks good on your PC/Phone doesn't mean it would look the same way on another PC... And no recruiter has that luxury of time to want understand your disjointed cv.

I prefer Word format.....

My bubble? No sire! I can't format a CV and it got scattered on your system. I'm not a novice. I still stand by what I said. What you are trying to say is that every CV prepared using a table in Word would scatter on another system which is very wrong. We are talking about version gap here and not just because MS-Word was used. Did you ask the lady the version of MS-Word she used in preparing the CV and compared it with the version you have in your system?

You seem to be getting me wrong here, I never said the cv got scattered because a table was used....

But atleast you mentioned in your post that version differences could screw documents(Which can never happen on pdf)... And no recruiter would call to ask you what version you used that screwed your cv real bad....

Now I am not saying cv in word format must always get scattered but it can't be ruled out(Which you also stated above, "Version differences" .... But scattering can never happen with PDF as it is WUSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get)

Me too I wantta kno
