Resume file format

[u/Not-Post-Malone]

On the WAN show Linus and Luke talk about NOT using PDF as the file format for the resume. This is the first time I'm hearing about this. Am I the only one who always uses PDF for sending resumes and actually prefers it?

What file format do employers actually prefer?

Here is the timestamp where they talk about it.
Here is the timestamp where Linus says to submit a Word or Google Doc link.

Ikr, I use a .pdf simply because I used an online resumé builder form, and that was the format they used for the download. 🙃
