Actually, that's not completely true - many companies frown at Word resumes,
and expect text files, or (in big and dumb companies) don't know how to
read any thing except faxes. I've seen several (Israeli) companies that
insist that the resume be in English, plain text, by the way.

Besides, if you're looking for a Unix related job, don't be suprised if the
person who is going to hire you is Unix-oriented too, in which case Word is
a huge turn-off.

Do that ;)

You can convert them to text with antiword | bidiv, and then convert them to
postscript with hebrew-font-supporting groff (see ftp.ivrix.org.il). I know, a
really twisted solution ;)
