Well, I like TeX. I really like TeX. Especially LaTeX, nevermind. I use this to write some documents, in the last week I rewrote my CV to look a little bit nicer. I used Kile and LaTeX and converted that to pdf. And I’ve got a nice CV and some letters to some companies written in LaTeX. I’ve got them in some strange(?) formats like dvi or pdf. I thought that there won’t be any problem with that.
Problem 1
There are some advertisments where it is written
Please send us your CV in the Word format.
or:
Please send us your CV in the *.doc file.
Well, I don’t have one. I usually send using pdfs.
Problem 2
I sent an email with pdf files. I’ve got reply that the files are not in the Word format. Could I send in this format? I answered “no, I can’t”. Usually there is a reply: “OK, no problem”. Sometimes it is:
Sorry, you can’t apply to this job if we don’t have your cv in this format.
Well, what a pity.
Problem 3.
There is no (I don’t know any) converter from LaTeX/PDF to Word.
A Geek?
Well, I’ve got a nice CV, in the properties there is written that it was written using LaTeX, coool. I’ve got a coooool geeky CV, sometimes unusable but it is coool.
Cool.
