So my local job center had me convert my LaTeX CV into Word format, as apparently PDF is to techy for them.

Tbh I would have given them a txt file...

They dont have any browser but they have word? What the actual f*ck

Please tell me you took a photo of your screen and inserted that into a Word doc. Please.

@Root but isnt that the only way to convert pdf to docx? /s

Recruiters often do that. It's so they can remove your contact details so the employer can't contact you direct, and in some cases so they can rewrite it to better match the job spec. Trouble is many of them are total bastards and will fabricate things.
