PDF LogoWhen you email your resume and the person at the receiving end has a different word processing software, that can lead to formatting inconsistencies, a thing to avoid, if possible.

A good way to avoid this is to send your job applications in ".pdf" format.  Most companies pdf their documents for external communications nowadays and will have no problem opening the documents that you send them.]]></description>
