I've had resumes in a variety of formats, but even in 2010 companies and recruitment agencies will often only accept them in Microsoft Word format. Using version control seems quite logical though, so if you want to produce a resume which emphasises a particular skill that could be a separate branch, and so on. In my opinion the ultimate format for a resume is xml with css styling, such that the presentation can be altered as desired or conform to some standardised layout, but it seems that the job market is just not ready for that degree of sophistication yet. Is there a standard xml document type for resumes? If there isn't someone should invent one.
