I tend to agree with Dominic, IT manager bods would probably be more
impressed with a well laid out formatted text (your right PDF would
be preferable as it is OS independant) with tasteful use of fonts,
bold colour and text that gets to the point quickly, rather than lots
of fluff. I fail to see how plain text could do this. Its like
turning up at an interview in denims - or has office / managerial
culture changed so much?
Anyhow, thats what I was taught - that presentation is important, as
it tells potential employers much about your personality and
organisational skills - assuming YOU wrote the CV in the first place
not a bespoke CV writing firm!
:)
