the "serious people" remark is a joke. I use the xml resume library and generate several formats from my xml source, not that I am a particularly serious person. Now, I do use txt if I need to actually attach a resume. As far as I can tell, the document management systems recruiters use that want .doc format are, uh, not very good at all. But, from looking through resumes from a recruiter, I do stand by my 'mangled crap' comment. I don't know what they do with the things, but half of them come up formatted horribly. My guess is that the system recruiters use to strip off contact info and do keyword searches combines with some subtle version incompatibility in Microsoft products.
