One of my friends got fed up with headhunters who insisted on MS-WORD

as a full-page picture object in Word.
It's magnificently awful.

That's why I always just send people straight
troff documents! Now to
find out why that company hasn't gotten back to me about the resume I

They probably only accept resumes in WordPervert form.
How important is FORMAT in a resume?
Does it need PDF?
Does it need PS?
Does it even need HTML?
What color paper?
What texture paper do they need to be on?
Do they need a scent added? Has smell-o-vision been standardized yet?
