Likewise, I always find that employment agencies (or job consultants,
if you prefer that), often ask CV (or resume) in MS Word format.  I
send them a note stating that I don't have MS Word software, but that
I am sending in RTF format, which can be viewed in MS Word.  To my
surprise, most of them reject such resumes.  

Thats a sad reality.  I don't know why such a restriction is being
imposed.  I cannot seem to figure it out.

Rgds,
anna
