<div dir="ltr">Hi Omer,<br>I'm currently also looking for a job. <br>Usually I send my CV in html format. Then some of the recipients ask me for DOC file. So then I send the OO Doc CV. <br>When I go to interview I see that the HTML CV is appearing inline in the message. I see that from their printed CV they bring to the interview.<br>
The only time recipients asked for DOC file, is when it involves workers from head hunters office. <br>Every other company I contacted just used the html or pdf I sent them. <br><br>I'm still looking for a job, so I'm not sure my methods are correct ;-)<br>

I am now looking for work, and am undergoing the usual drill of sending<br>
E-mail messages in response to job/project ads and referrals.<br>
<br>
My mode of operation is to E-mail the URL to my CV in my Website. Light<br>
and sweet E-mail and the receipient's E-mail client has the convenient<br>
affordance of letting the receipient see my CV by clicking on the URL in<br>
the E-mail message.<br>
<br>
I encountered an interesting phenomenon.<br>
<br>
Some of those companies (both placement and project subcontract work<br>
outfits) look for a Linux software developer AND expect you to E-mail<br>
them a MS-Word .doc file.<br>
<br>
My current rule of thumb is to accommodate the job placement companies -<br>
they just matchmake according to keywords, and they have too much work<br>
to educate their workers about the foibles of Linux developers.<br>
<br>
But I would expect the subcontractors to have a clue about Linux<br>
developers/users (no MS-Word, in other words).<br>
<br>
If YOU were looking for work now, how would YOU deal with such<br>
companies?<br>
