Your irrational pet peeves

[shafnutz05]

That can't be what's going on. Do you mean like a .jpg?

Correct. Take a JPG with your iPhone, attach it to your email from your phone, signed "Sent from my iPhone"

[PensFanInDC]

I thought you meant they saved a Word doc as a .jpg

People are actually taking pictures of their resumes with a phone and sending them in? No wonder so many people cant find work.

[Troy Loney]

They took a photo of their resume on the phone and then emailed it to you? That's amazingly ridiculous and that shouldn't be considered a submission. The appropriate response is to tell them to resend it in an acceptable way, any other course of action is crazy on your end.

We have some doc retrieval systems that give you the document in .tif formats which are worthless, my first impression is they somehow put their resume in a stupid format like that.

I don't even give them a chance to resubmit in an appropriate way. If you are that big of a jackwagon that you give me your resume via a picture, I don't want you anywhere near my company.

I cannot believe this is a real thing that happens in the world today. Kids today.

The few I have seen like this aren't from kids. They were from people in their 40s.

I'm more irritated with shad for accepting the resume.

I had a long conversation with this candidate, he's actually one of the most professional people I've talked to in a long time, which is why it kind of surprised me. Because of that professionalism, and the fact that I make commission if I place him, I have no qualms about typing up a Word real quick, saving it as a PDF, and sending it over.

But you did have a qualm about it. See your post from 30 minutes ago.

When submitting an online job application everything is PDF, except the cover letter which I sent in .rtf. Am I wrong on that? I only apply to federal jobs and they have their own weird way of doing things, but a cover letter is a cover letter. Should it not be in a Word format?

[meow]

Should it not be in a Word format?

No, it shouldn't if you ask me. PDF everything you have into one document. Cover letter, resume, references, that A+ you got on the third grade spelling test. All one PDF.

[Idoit40fans]

I usually save my cover letter as a pdf as well.

[dodint]

Well, with Fed stuff they have 'slots' for where to put individual supporting documents. Everything is PDF, and the resume is generated online by the system, but I've been submitting .rtf cover letters. Boo. Thanks for the heads up, much appreciated.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

I send my resume in .gif format with animation, of course.

If its a good quality, you could just use free online services to change a jpeg to a PDF.

You don't post here any more. That's why your post count doesn't go up.
