Phil,
I guess I look at the problem differently.
If I request a resume in Word format, I expect it in Word format. If someone
else sends in a plain text file, they aren't even considered for employment.
And vice versa.
I mean - they're trying to find a job. If you ask them for plain text and they
can't even follow that simple direction, could they follow more complicated
instructions? Would you want to hire them?
