[job hunt] Doom! DOOOOOOOMMM!!!!!!
Dec. 5th, 2006 10:04 amSo, remember that application I ended up submitting three times over? Well, I got an email from them first thing this morning, the entire text of which was: "Please see your file - it is a mess. Please resend ASAP."
So I checked the file. I'm using a Mac, and I bring up Preview, and it looks just fine. Then I try Acrobat. And what do you know, it's page after page of randomly placed characters. Gah!!!
The thing is, I had basically taken a bunch of pdf files and combined them into one. And I'm pretty damn sure I used Acrobat to do it.
Anyway, I redid the thing differently, checked it using both programs, and sent it back off. But now I'm really REALLY not getting this damn fellowship now.
