Problem Solving:
Jan. 5th, 2009 01:04 pm... Okay, I know I do a lot of weird lateral thinking to find solutions to problems sometimes, but this one amuses me.
Problem:
Job site only accepts resume to be posted in *.doc format, then mangles formatting. Html building program mangles word formatting when turned into html and the job site will not accept it.
Options:
-Leave it be and let prospective employers flee at the mess. ;_;
-Spend a while going through and hand encoding everything into html, which we are suxx0r at.
-Upload resume.doc into ff.net's document manager, let their uber-stripping program remove excess word formatting, copy/paste the simple html into resume builder.
... Did the last one. Less than 10 minutes and the problem was solved! XD For once, ff.net was useful for something!
