After Word/PDF/Latex/PS/HTML and XML, web-famous resumes have come so far in Flash, JSON, now Markdown. I suspect there were Java applets and iphone/android app as resumes.

What's left? a YAML resume?

Non-'standard' resumes are terrible for recruiters as they have to be parsed before they can be read properly or added to any tool they may be using.

By 'standard' I pretty much mean PDF.

In EU the Europass CV [1], or "Standard European CV" as everybody calls it, is the de-facto standard CV. It is often the compulsory format for CV for jobs in the public sector and it is also suggested by many businesses.

I'd like to see a quine resume.

I think there would need to be some genetic engineering involved.

A Brainfuck one will show up sooner or later.
