She can personally read a CV in most any format (and the few she can't I convert for her). It is the preference of the Human Resources department within her client companies who specify the MS .doc format. If a resume comes into HR that is not in .doc format, they will ask that it be resubmitted in that format. It is not a formal standard, but it sure is a de facto one. Companies in the IT area more be more flexible; I can't say. > > Chad Frank
