Post Body

Research fellowship applications specify a "CV" rather than a "resume." When I was applying to corporate jobs, I was told to use Word for my resume to comply with applicant tracking systems.

I know its traditional to use latex for an academic CV, but im worried about missing this first “computer round” and never having my application read by a human. Do these kinds of jobs even use computer tracking? Is this something I should be worried about?

UPDATE: To clarify, I don’t intend to submit a tex file, but a PDF version. The problem these PDFs are not usually ATS-friendly.

Also, the discipline is economics
