Markdown resumes are plain text — they work with version control (git), they're easy to format consistently, and they convert cleanly to HTML, PDF, or DOCX using tools like Pandoc. No more fighting with Word formatting.
I've kept my resume in markdown for years. The ability to git diff changes between versions is surprisingly useful when you're tracking applications.
Pro tip: Use hyphenated achievement lines with numbers. "Increased revenue by 20%" is stronger than "Responsible for revenue growth."
