I finally got around to whipping up a resumé, for the first time in 12 years. Comments welcome.

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.

There's absolutely no way I would work somewhere that preferred Word to PDF.

What was your major at Cal?

Word is the most common format in industry among recruiters and HR people.
I'm sure people will generally be okay with PDF though.

My major at Cal was Economics, and I also did the L&S Computer Science minor. Dropping out did me good, I was much more motivated when I went back.
