I literally just updated my CV and exported it as PDF/X. Then I remembered that a decade ago I sent someone else a PDF/X document and they were annoyed that they couldn’t add notes on it while reading it (because apparently Adobe Reader was stupidly designed like that, can’t just save an editable copy - dunno, I’ve not used that app in forever) and wondered if recruiters would be annoyed.
But then I was like “blaaaaah, recruiters, are they even reading this stuff anymore? Were they ever reading this stuff? Probably not. Shouldn’t worry about it.”
(Well, some did, once in a while. A few years ago I did end up in a few group interviews in which the recruiters apparently printed out my CV. In colour. …As I just updated my CV, I realised that I used only black plus one colour for the entire document, which means uneven toner usage. Recruiters vs Printers: No Matter Who Wins, We Lose.)
(I don’t know what the hell I’m rambling about, I’m giga high on caffeine, holy shit)
