Except otherwise stated, I always advise all applicants to send their CVs in a PDF format. It looks more professional, protects your well arranged CV design/format, and also removes that annoying grammar error underlines common with doc files. .

This is what she meant;

Option 1: Type the CV, save as Msword and then send.

Option 2: Type the CV or take an already typed CV, print, scan printed CV and send. (who the f*** does this anyways) undecided

Option 3: Type the CV, save as PDF and then send.


Do you now understand?

Technically, I disagree with you. It's actually the other way round.
Except otherwise stated, ALWAYS send your CV in Word/Doc Format. Apart from the fact that it's good for ATS, it also exhibits your level of efficiency in the use of MS Word tools or its variants. A professional human resource specialist like me will not overlook this. No mercy.

So, OP, paste your Cover Letter on the body of your mail while you attach your CV (Word/Doc.). Hope this helps.

How does sending Msword show level of MS Word tool efficiency when the PDF itself is a product of Msword? PDF file and Doc file relationship is just like Kpekere and plantain chips. Plantain chips is just packaged Kpekere, same way a PDF file is just a packaged word document.

If I send you my PDF CV and you no send me invite, I will hunt you down and kill you! angry





*The only downside to sending PDF CVs is that your recipient might not have a PDF reader to read your file.

Send with pdf. Pdf had been a standard document format for over 16 years and most ATS can recognize pdf very well.

However, if your pdf is an image in pdf i.e. if you can't select and copy the words of your cv from your pdf cv, ats won't recognize it. Thus is the actual reason ppl think ats don't recognize pdf.

Word had issues with versions, it had no security (it can be edited) and your layout might scatter.

Lol @your last statement. When was the last time you meet someone without a pdf reader? Mine was 2007.
Re: How To Send Cv by Lastanza: 12:18am On Apr 05, 2016
Pls o I use word 10 and wen ever i copy or attach my CV to my email or flash drive every arrangement will just scatter. I also tried adjusting to older versions like word 97 or 2003 and still do same thing.

Is it dat my email is compatible with word 2007 or something? This difference in word format is one of Microsoft's shortcoming.

How do i go about people?

Ms word as an attachment then your cover letter on the body of the mail (except otherwise stated).

PDF attached is also on but use MS Word except it is clearly stated that you use PDF

Older versions of word eg. 2003 may not be open a word document created in a newer version eg 2010 very well. But newer versions can open documents of older versions quite well. Hence my suggestion that you go for pdf and save yourself the scattering issue.

But if you insist on word then i suggest you create it in 2003 version or save it at 2003 version i.e doc NOT docx.

Re: How To Send Cv by sucobaba(m): 7:20am On Apr 06, 2016
If the required format isn't stated,send the damn cv as both Word and PDF format.

Just attach as word and pdf while you paste cover letter as body of mail.

Case Closed!!!!!!!!

Before you know now,people go begin e-fight, e-beef, e-insults all because of a damn cv wey fit bounce back as a result of "mail quota filled" or "email address invalid" errors. tongue
