What are your thoughts on resumes in HTML format?

Almost everywhere I have applied even as a software engineer, I've always been asked to submit my resume in text or MS Word format. I've honestly never seen a place to submit an XML resume

Cpl,
I am by no means a SME but from a third party opinion I think it looks a bit busy. I think a minimalist/easy to read design that displays your skills might catch the eye better. Just my personal opinion though.

I think this is a great format for nailing the interview. However, I think that you need a traditional resume to get to the interview.

Maybe, alongside a PDF format.

When I was in highschool, The big thing was telling people to put their resume on CD and hand it out. 15 years later and people still prefer either paper, word document, or that you fill it out online.

My suggestion is to make two, one that looks nice printed out, and one that is simple and clean for upload to sites. It is my experience that very few waste time viewing html resumes. Smaller companies want your info quickly as they skim to weed out those they are not interested in, and larger companies want your info into their HR front end to be sifted through automatically by pre-programmed algorithms searching for key words and phrases.

The best thing to do, again in my opinion and experience, if you want to really get a head up on people is to write your resume individually for each job you are applying for utilizing key terms you find in the job description and company profile.

Cpl,
In addition looking at your resume; the black on blue print is very difficult to read

if the job you desire requires knowledge of HTML, i recommend it! but keep in mind the audience, will the person reading it be able to open the file? will the point get across to them? i recommend a web page resume with the pdf version downloadable, and a link to the web site on the pdf. or in the old days we had business card sized CDs where you could save a web enabled version of your resume.
