My wife is an independent recruiter in the life sciences area. She can
personally read a CV in most any format (and the few she can't I convert
for her).
It is the preference of the Human Resources department within her client
companies who specify the MS .doc format. If a resume comes into HR
that is not in .doc format, they will ask that it be resubmitted in that
format. It is not a formal standard, but it sure is a de facto one.
Companies in the IT area more be more flexible; I can't say.
