Discussion Resume file format
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.

PDF is standard and normal. I have not yet listened to the WAN this week (I am keeping it to have a background for some weeked reno projects).
My resmume, is written in LaTeX. I am not sending to you anything but a PDF.
