That resume looks like it was made by a computer, for a computer. Perhaps it would be more efficient to specify a DTD, a few microformats (e.g. hOrgChartPosition), and then just ask for it as validated XML.

That's how I felt, it's not scannable or readable at all :(

Hm, interesting. It might be very functional, but this really answers questions like, "What source control software you used in your past three jobs", or allows you to compare side-by-side what technology/language you used across jobs. I do find that the format helps me answer those questions I usually have when reviewing resumes. It might not be as skim-friendly (it's packed to the gills with info), but don't find it particularly obtuse; maybe not as 'pretty' or breathable and it's definitively not traditional (wonder if that is what makes it look uglier)
