I’ve generally saved my HTML resume to PDF without any major issues as a professional SWE for the past ~15 years or so, although I’ve been dealing primarily with SV tech companies and not government agencies in the UK.

Microsoft Word is fine too but I would still use something like PDF for export and sharing (still not sure how Microsoft Word solves the usb problem for you).

Generally though I like something text-like that I can revision control more easily/edit in vim. Maybe I’ll switch to something like pan doc going forward (then you can generate word if they really want it).



Pandoc can even generate Word docs?! Well dang
