I see mention of PDFs both in the article as well as the repo...But i think over the decades that I've been working and applied for roles - almost exclusively in corporate america...I've only been asked for a PDF once! Every other time, everyone wants a Word doc (.doc/.docx). So...is there now some growing HR groups who are asking for PDFs instead? Or, is that if someone asked you for a PDF instead of a Word doc, then that's a signal that said HR groups are employing some sort of agentic review of one's resume (I mean, beyond the conventional ATS systems)??
