I used Open Office to make a resume, what format should I send it in?

Category: Other

Chosen1Chosen1


Open Office uses ODF but if I send it as that will they have any problems viewing it in email? I don't have MS Office so I use Open Office for free. If I should use another format, what format should I save it as, and will that mess up my template format?

Save it as a pdf. That's just about universal. (You may need to use the "export" command rather than "save as" to do this.)

Try Rich Text Format. It can be open by MS-Word and retains most of the formatting.

Save as PDF or office 03 compatible document , alot of companys dont upgrade software because it problematic - but mostly just to pricey
