Write it in MS Word.
No, I'm serious. When I got this job I wrote my CV in
KWord
and exported it to PDF. Recruitment consultants wouldn't touch it unless it was in MS Word format. I guess because they want to do some "judicious" editing...

Lots of recruitment twonks and even companies just do searches for buzzwords so would want a non-pdf.
I have no idea what the buzzwords are in Paul's field, but I recommend he make sure he's used them all!

To be fair, I have participated in recruiting a couple of times, and obvious buzzword listing really puts me off.
