> when a prospective job applicant sends a resume in Pages, it’s a disqualifier

I'm utterly astounded that anyone sends a resume in anything other than PDF.

Sometimes employers require .doc or .docx, and that's a disqualifier. For me.




Amen to that. There have been multiple times in my career where I've stopped the process the moment when a recruiter asked me to fill in a shitty looking .doc or .docx file with the same info that is in the .PDF file that's containing my CV that I've already submitted.
