Hello
You can create doc files using the online SkyDrive by Microsoft (accessed
via windows live).
There is a plug-in for MS office that opens OO documents (I think it is a
Sun free product) but I don't have the url for it

Subject: You develop in Linux and are looking for work, and are requestedto
provide CV as a .doc file - what would you do?
I am now looking for work, and am undergoing the usual drill of sending
E-mail messages in response to job/project ads and referrals.
My mode of operation is to E-mail the URL to my CV in my Website. Light
and sweet E-mail and the receipient's E-mail client has the convenient
affordance of letting the receipient see my CV by clicking on the URL in
the E-mail message.
I encountered an interesting phenomenon.
Some of those companies (both placement and project subcontract work
outfits) look for a Linux software developer AND expect you to E-mail
them a MS-Word .doc file.
My current rule of thumb is to accommodate the job placement companies -
they just matchmake according to keywords, and they have too much work
to educate their workers about the foibles of Linux developers.
But I would expect the subcontractors to have a clue about Linux
developers/users (no MS-Word, in other words).
If YOU were looking for work now, how would YOU deal with such
companies?
