I hate updating my resume.

I hate how so many people seeing a resume with 15 years or more of work history ask about a few months at the fucking tail end or during recessions

I hate it too. Mainly because it's an word document and one of the very few reasons i ever boot up windows and work with word. It sucks but receating it in latex or what sucks even more.

@horus
AFAIK libreoffice can deal with word files save for some obscure features you probably aren't using.

So can Google docs.

@coreFusionX libre Office always destroys the layout of the cv (and other doc files), but Google docs is definately worth a try!

@horus
I mean, if layout is important, maybe it's sensible to make a web CV?

That probably will sort out potential layout problems, and is easily printable for antediluvian employers.

@CoreFusionX .... Well personally I don't feel format should be so rigid but uh

Everyone expects something that should be a list of criteria in a central system anyway

@AvatarOfKaine

No. When *you* apply somewhere, you take care of trying to fit in.

Accommodating to their preferred formats is a way of doing that.

My comment was a way to help this in a manner that is least bothersome to OP.

@CoreFusionX yes.. but also there some room for interpretation supposedly. Point Is resumes are moot. And a web resume is worse unless you're approaching a rare creative who wants to see you demonstrate what you know.

A resume format that is sensible is not always appreciated and to be honest the career matching sites should be centralized and people simply placed.

This bs where s person may not have s job they can survive off of after firing off tons of resumes snd applications is bull

@CoreFusionX course everything you people did to my world is bullshit

Which command do you usually run to update your cv package? 😉

@horus there are some .doc(x) to latex (or md, ...) converters, even comandeline ones maybe those would help. E.g. pandoc
Also have you tried exporting to .odt in Word?

Personally I want to try using .md for everything some day (there are even some blog posts about akademic papers in md) but I haven't yet had to write something in a while

@Jedidja there is somd tavke shit involved which does easily convert. But yes, if i took some time i would find the way. Whenever i update my resume i am too angry to do that xD

@horus you can use office online for free
