I was considering applying for a job which says

Please do not send a Microsoft Word document or other attachment with your email.Please do not send a Microsoft Word document or other attachment with your email. If you have your résumé in Word or some other word processor, please paste the contents into a plain text email. If your résumé is online, then please include the URL.If your résumé is online, then please include the URL.

I would prefer to give them a link to my formatted resume over pasting it in a plain-text email, however my resume is currently in Google Drive, and I am not sure if sharing a link to a Google Document would be considered professional or not.

Is it okay to share your resume with a potential employer by giving them the link to a Google Document if they specifically request a link to your Resume instead of an attachment?

I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not, but I believe they are a more laid back company based on the following quote on their careers site:

Applicants should be familiar with either handling a Redeemer in close quarters or proper tactical support operations while assaulting a Titan.

Edit

Thanks for the replies so far and I will take them into consideration for this job opening, however I am specifically looking to find out if a Google Document is an appropriate way to share your resume online, such as linking to it from within an email, and would like an answer addressing that specifically.

Would it be professional to use the url of a Google Document containing my resume?
