So many times in my early career, recruiters specified that my resume had to be in .doc rather than .pdf. One of them even said that it was so they could remove any identifying factors before sending it to their clients.

I wish I'd been canny enough to recognize that as a red flag.

edit: I've since written a script to generate a pdf resume from a yaml file. Good luck with that, recruiters!
