Funny story, I maintain a resume in html format. One time I applied for a job, and their online application rejected my upload, telling me it had to be PDF, Word, or plain text format. In frustration I copy/pasted the text content into an emacs buffer (not the html itself, just the text shown in the browser). I tried to pretty it up a bit, but forgot to save my final draft, so the interviewers got a resume that started like this:

    ;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation.
    ;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f,
    ;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer.

What followed was extremely poorly formatted plain text.

Needless to say, I felt really embarrassed to find this out during the interview, and was baffled that the internal recruiter had even considered me.

I got the job.

Mine isn't that different and I worked for two of the Big 4.

What bling? It seems like a completely acceptable CV even today.
