I've seen quite a few ads requesting .doc style resumes. I personally would prefer to send in pdf form, I've had far too many problems with word documents either being changed by well-meaning, but clueless headhunters, and just errors in opening the files on the other end.
Speaking of resume advice, does anyone know of a reliable advisor to help with tailoring a resume? I look at all the online templates and advice, but I still want to polish it up and am wondering if anyone new of a good service to give it a once-over.
