Going back to some job hunting I did a few years back, I would send of my CV in PDF format
We _require_ applicants supply their CV in PDF. If it comes in Word format, it goes to the dustbin.
Invariably I got a request back asking for it as a DOC file.
Many companies use automated tools that parse Word format files for key words as a first screening process. If your CV doesn't contain certain key words, your CV goes to the dustbin, even if you may be qualified. They can't run it through the tool unless it is in Word format.
It would seem an easier job to program an automated tool that parses a publicly documented format ( PDF ) rather than a tool that parses a proprietary format ( Word ).
