system for high-quality typesetting.

implementation, & output.

viruses, malicious macros could destroy the data.
LaTeX is not threatened by viruses.
One of the advantages of LaTeX over other
traditional systems is its ability to produce high
typographical quality of the documents.

years, and the underlying language hasn't changed
very much in that time.

‘content’ and ‘presentation’ separate.
TeX files are lot smaller than .doc or .docx file.

tuned print than any word processor.

of paragraph character that in a spooky way
contains all layout instructions.

professional look than a document produced by a word processor.

 LaTeX can be converted to a number of different formats.
 LaTeX itself and many converters, viewers, and add-on packages
are free.

similar things to your CV – it is very nicely, and easily handled in
LaTeX. With word processors it gets really messy, especially if you
have to keep updated your CV in different languages.

degree of intellect, and a bit of non-crowd-following behavior. It
also draws attention from potential employers who appreciate TeX.
