I tend to refuse to send a resume to someone in a format that I don't use. 
Perhaps that limits my potential employers, but if I don't have Word here in
the house, how the hell am I going to make a Word doc?  Why would a *UNIX*
admin use Windows?  I have fun explaining that one.  Word isn't everywhere? 
Gasp!  And what the hell is "eye-rix" and "solairis" anyway?

What I have found though, is that the software these brainless HR doodz use
imports Word docs and sticks them into a database with keyword search
capability.  That way, none of them actualy have to *read* your resume. 
Apparently, this software doesn't support any other format...
