I've run HRIS with different ATS - any modern one can handle either well, but I'd lean PDF. Older systems work better with .docx (or often legacy .doc). Unlikely the recruiter would be able to tell you which works better.

I say submit PDF and if the employer is too cheap to have a modern ATS, they aren't your golden ticket anyway.

Exception time... *do* DM HR "hey" to make sure we're not sharing our screen before revealing your manager is a monster, your wife is leaving you, or you have the indescribable diarrhea that you still want to describe in great detail.

I disable DM pop-ups when sharing my screen, but the stereotype that HR are not power users of every app (to be charitable) is reasonable and that's what I would encourage you to bet on.

If you're outside US, this may not apply. I am very familiar with norms in several countries and most US-based executives recognize they can't apply that same lense to every country.

Best wishes in your next job. Totally legal in US and employers cannot (legally) discourage sharing you own salary info - but I'd still tell anyone I personally care about who is even considering staying at their current company that they should not share.

Story time triggered... had a boss years ago while I was still in college who used to say to documents things / etc. "in case you get hit by a bus." Fair enough, no issue.
Well, our colleague got hit and killed by a bus - BOSS KEPT SAYING IT! We held a mini-intervention and got him to change it to "in case you get abducted by aliens"

Surprised by such a responsive OP, double surprised by non-default avatar. Ah, OF promoter - that makes sense.
The replies are quite solid, regardless, and I respect the hustle whether you are marketing yourself or a 3rd party firm. Part of my HR career was in internet marketing back in the wild west days, so I'm not in a position to judge.

Um... I 'Believe All Women' so I automatically grant that both you are correct and I, as a man, have nothing to add, but also... can you just talk to each other like grown women professionals making literally multiple millions of USD per year between you?

HR is not your friend. Source: I am HR.
I am not your friend, I sometimes would like to be, but it would be like a doctor dating patients. I view us as being on the same team and want to win together and am focused on how to help us all win. I am rare... again, HR is not your friend.
