Definately not!
Having just been in the position of advertising for a position (which
was for a Linux job), I was amazed that out of the 13 replies, 11 sent
word files, 1 sent a text file and 1 just sent a link to their web page
which contained their CV.
The people sending .doc files were definately at a disadvantage, however
the format of their CV was not the determining factor in choosing who
got the job.
Cheers,
Benno
