Resumé

[revgeorge]

Heh, last time I had reason to send out my resumé I had a Word document and that was pretty much that. This time I'm sending out a Markdown formatted text file and I've gotten compliments from people who appreciate the fact that it's just text. I probably shouldn't be saying anything, since it seems to be giving me an advantage.

Plus if I need to make it pretty, I just need to convert it with Markdown and add a stylesheet. Hell, I should create a CSS Zen Garden for my resumé
