Why does Craigs List limit the file size that you want to send to the job poster to only 150K? Why can't it be 200K?! I usually send out my resume in PDF and generally have no problem with job sites, except for Careerbuilder, which only takes the resume in Word or Copy/Paste.
Today right after I finished and sent out my resume to the CL poster my email bounced right back, telling me I exceeded their set limit. I wonder why I never had that issue before? So I tried different PDF export options but none was able to reduce the PDF size to less than 150K. Then I decided to use Word and created the PDF via print. It worked, and the size was smaller, but it just didn't look as good. The font and the spacing and the formatting and the whole page simply looked off. I could keep on modifying the resume and try to make it look nice in Word, but it was just not measuring up to the InDesign version. So I just typed the resume content in my email body with some necessary formatting. Away it went. Did 3 today.
Will I finally get a job this month? Hope so!
