Hi, I am tryin to send copy of cv to companies , but they say they cannot open them I do not have word or adobe acrobat, so cannot send their required format. Appreciate any help. Please check your CV is a MS Word (*.doc), MS Word 2007 (*.docx), Rich Text Format (*.rtf) or Acrobat (*.pdf) file " this is what their application site states"

    what have you written your CV in then?

    you can download open office copy and paste the text into it format it and then click the save as function - then choose one of the correct options
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Just install a virtual PDF printer like Cute PDF Writer then you can generate a PDF file from any application that can print.

    Openoffice can "save as" Word document or straight to PDF by clicking on the PDF symbol in the toolbar.
