I request that you do not send pdf files that I have to copy and reformat. I prefer you provide your very brief job description in an email rather than an enclosure. I may limit the size of your position descriptions (generally to 500 words or less) as I have a size limit on the newsletter (HTML and text content cannot exceed 123 KB), which equates to about 7,000 words total.
