I think some are missing the point.
A resume or CV is your first (and sometimes only) opportunity to impress a
prospective employer or agency representative.
As such, it should be a best-of-breed.
How many of you would use a printer with a typo on his business card?
How many of you would use a mechanic whose car blows smoke?
They may be brilliant at their jobs and may just have been careless BUT why
give them a chance when there are plenty more available.
When interviewing TWs (I don't in my current role), I have always asked
agencies to provide a copy of the CV in its original electronic format where
possible, so that I can look at how it was created.
It tells me a lot about a TW and certainly poses many questions that a
prospective employee might not like answering.
While not everyone does this, I am certainly not Robinson Crusoe in this
approach.
My 0.02 as usual.
