I've been in hiring discussions where word doc is looked down on since the candidate is not thinking about how to protect their data from manipulation.

This ladies take is dumb as hell, or as others have mentioned because her company changes applicants information.

The number of times I got a word doc with the job description in it is ridiculous as well. Yes, I am judging you if you do that.

A PDF is also editable, sure, but at least everyone can open the goddamn thing without any problems.

Then stop using automated software that excludes candidates if the entirety of the job description isn't embedded in the resume. You're not special. You're just another job. And 90%+ of companies use dumb filtering so people have to adapt or get used to 2k+ applications per interview.
