As an open source advocate, I use OpenOffice.org Writer to write my
resume. Since many companies don't use it, I publish it to Acrobat
format as well. Anyone can download my resume in either format here:
Even if OO was a standard, I wouldn't send a document like this (and
most for that matter, unless I am collaborating/coauthoring something
with the recipient) out in an editable format. It has always surprised
me that MS Word is the industry standard for sending resumés, as you
have no control over how the file is going to look once it is opened.
I have seem many resumes that I am sure the formatting is not how it
was authored. I would strongly recommend using PDF so that it is
exactly how you want it to be seen.
Absolutely, I hate it when someone sends me a resume in doc format and
leaves a bad first impression - always use pdf for resumes. The nice
thing about OpenOffice is that it makes saving in pdf format so easy -
one click.
