Damn. I didn't see this until now. I would if you're offering, haha. It's actually 2 pages though as it's my right out of college resume so it has all my internships and part time jobs on it. I do know once I'm in the real working world a bit longer (I just graduated in May), I'll revise it to have only my professional experience.

But I also did it using a resume template found on word, so there is some formatting, it isn't as simple as just re-typing.

I'm not offended at all if you don't want the work, it's definitely not your responsibility. But I'll probably do it tonight, so I'm going to shower and if I don't hear back from you by the time I check it, I'll just do it myself. No biggy either way.

Formatting, re-typing, whatever... it still won't take me that long. Check your PM for my email address to email it to.

Use freeware of choice to create the pdf version.

I've always been to the understanding that resumes should only be 1 page...especially if you are right out of college/have no experience.

Yippers....on the CutePDF. It rocks.

Personally, if I were handling resumes and someone sent me a PDF, I'd be annoyed.

Conversely, if a company can't handle a word document...specifically the latest version that's been around for 2 years and demands a pdf...
I don't think I'd want to work there....bunch of backward ass cheap bastards.

Get with the damn times.

One page unless you are bringing kung pow skills and 10+million in new business to the table.

then an additional page may be worth...

guess it depends on the type of resume (chronological,functional...whatever else they call em nowadays)

Exactly. I've always been told by every HR person ever that your resume should only be more than 1 page if you are super experience kimosabe stud.
