Whether the position uses Word also has an impact. If I know the
position uses Frame exclusively, then I don't care about something
done in Word, but I'll apply the same criteria to their Frame samples
Wanna REALLY impress me? If the job requires Frame or HTML, send me
the same resume as both a doc and fm or html file and have them look
EXACTLY THE SAME. Shows me that you not only know how to use styles,
but that you are their MASTER! That you can REALLY get them to do
EXACTLY what you want.
