Few years ago, I had started to use PowerPoint to draft my resume. I’m in France and people expect a one-pager so i used a blank, portrait-oriented slide and combined different elements until I was happy with the result. I would be sending it out as a .pdf version and never had any problem.
That worked until the day I was asked to provide a Word version. This is something usually required to evaluate a candidate ability to use Word properly (like, you should never center a title in a page by putting many spaces before).
I had no intention to spend more than 2 minutes doing this so I opened a new Word document, selected my pdf resume as an image and pasted the image into the Word
