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

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

    So can Google docs.

    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

    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

    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
