That's interesting. 100% of the resumes I have sent have been PDF. I haven't even read a request for a Word document anywhere. Which country/domain are you talking about (for me it's tech jobs and academics in Germany). I have stopped applying to anyone who asks for a real world document so maybe that's a niche I'm missing?

Honestly that's strange to me that you outright refuse. Feel like you have missed out on potentially good positions? Sorry not trying to be snarky, just curious (I personally have never applied to a place that didn't request a PDF or only requested word docs here in the US for tech jobs)

This is sort of thing that makes a good litmus test.

Places I'd actually want to work are far morely likely to accept or even require PDF.

* I do feel that pdfs are far more professional
