I guess you'd never hire me, then. Of course, my resume isn't pretty. It is just dozens of three line paragraphs describing each job. There is no point to styles, as they can all be the same. The only difference is name and address at the top.

And you do realize that unless you get the resume directly from the person, anything from a recruiter or agency has been reformatted to who knows what level. I've seen some of mine submitted that didn't look anything like my original.

My number one pet peeve, for both novice and experienced users, is people
who do not know how to use styles and use inline formatting instead. In
fact, the last time I was looking to hire a TW, I checked the Word files
for every resume that I got in Word and weeded out any candidate who did
not use styles in their resume. When you're single sourcing PDF and online
Help that gets viewed on three or four different browser platforms, you
HAVE to use your stylesheet correctly if you want your output to look
professional. I don't have time to hover over your shoulder and break your
bad habit of not using styles properly if you don't already know.
