I guess format depends what kind of job you are looking for. When I deal with recruiters for software engineering jobs they pretty much always want me to email them a Word document, or maybe plain text or a link to HTML. But most commonly Word. I've never seen TeX outside of an academic setting.

Also my time at Berkeley would have been 87-91, except that I dropped out for a while and didn't finish my degree till 97. So we were pretty close to being contemporary.
