Save as editable document

Appreciate the awesome website!
There should be a way to save your resume as an editable file (e.g. .docx) so that additional edits can be made.

It is a good idea!

Markdown is much better, for open-resume's simplicity, strongly suggest

Yes but recruiters need .docx .

The ultimate goal of the resume is to get a person an interview -- and often that requires a recruiter to get you the interview.

Hence, please support export to .docx first...then later do Markdown

Worth noting that docx in browser is a relatively huge module... May also be difficult to match the formatting and have the desired output from docx to pdf for import.

What about an .RTF instead of a Docx. That would be much simpler and can be imported and converted very easily into a Docx by your favourite word processor.

+1 for RTF export to see how that does...

Just a quick update. I had a recruiter call me about the PDF requesting a Word version. It took me about 45 minutes to replicate it in word and made me think that I may as well have done it in word to begin with. I use this for tailored CVs as it is so easy to use. Importantly, the recruiter liked it but still annoyingly wanted to add something. I'm guessing highlights and comments but he didn't say. But if everyone ask for an editable version there is no point in using this tool if it is only PDF.
