Why you should convert your resume to PDF?
1) Preserved Layout
When you send your resume as a
PDF, you can be sure that your layout and all the little tweaks you have made
to it will be preserved. Sending a PDF is a better option than sending an MS
Office document, because the people looking at your resume could all have
different versions of MS office, which means that each of these people will see
your resume differently. Things get even more complicated if you create your
resume using Open Office, Libre Office, Google Docs or some other non-Windows
tool.
PDF is your best bet in order to ensure that these potential employers will be seeing your resume the way you intended it to be seen. You can also easily make sure that your PDF cannot be edited by anyone else. It has been reported that some recruitment agencies input their logos or other information in people’s resume. With PDF this will not happen.

2) PDF is visible on every computer
By using of PDF file, you need not to
worry that whether your potential employer or recruiters uses a windows, Mac or Linux
operating systems. All operating systems can open a PDF and it will look just
like it does on your PC.
3) Show your skills
If your
potential job involves creativity and good design and presentation skills, a
PDF is the perfect tool for showing off these skills. You can include images,
different text styles and illustrations to make your resume unique and
eye-catching. You will have many more options than you do when using MS Word,
which is pretty limited as far as image and design manipulations go.
