I see a lot of resumes in the Microsoft Word format. Word licensing costs money. At SOFI, we are licensed for Word on all of our networked computers. Unfortunately, a lot of the field service firms do not have a Microsoft Word license because of the licensing cost.
It’s best to convert all resumes to a PDF format. The PDF format is a universal business format. The FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader has no licensing fees. Microsoft Word has a built-in feature that will convert Word documents to a PDF format. You can also convert Word to a PDF file FREE at about half a dozen online websites.
