A lot of job application websites allow to upload a cv text file. It is common that only .doc .pdf an .xls are allowed. Do you have an idea how to convert a an org file to one of those?

I think pandoc supports org mode files

I like exporting to HTML (with some custom CSS) and printing to PDF from the browser; it allows me more control over the styling than I think pandoc does

I note down both approaches. Pandoc did it for me for the moment but very plain indeed.

From org, you can also export to pdf. But you will need to have latex installed.
