Incredible suggestion!  Thanks Benjamin!!  :)  I've been browsing many
career websites (some city/county and other govt sites) and many of the job
descriptions themselves are either .PDF (problem solved) or .DOC (bleh -
but fixed just now with `pkg_add -r antiword`)!

By the way, speaking of antiword :)  Has anyone ever seen this?  Apparently
it's possible to make a *.RTF file that works well as a job application,
and the user can tab between/among grey boxes to fill in but cannot alter
any other part of the document...?  Very cool, I was wondering how to make
one of my own.
