One solution to this is to create a plain text resume to be used when submitting through an applicant tracking system. You can still perform some basic formatting in plain text (e.g., string of hyphens for a horizontal line, asterisk for bullet, carriage return at 60 characters to prevent erroneous line wrapping, etc.).<p>At the top of the plain text resume include a line stating something like &quot;MS Word&#x2F;PDF formatted resume available at <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ExternalWebsite...&quot;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ExternalWebsite...&quot;</a>
