Are you literally retarded?

What the hell were you trying to do?
I spent like 2 hours with MikTex setting up the skeleton of my resume and it looks fine. Any changes I need to make to the actual content take a few minutes, and it exports to PDF and DOC files natively.

Why the fuck would you format a resume like that?

>>59237670
column one was the place and position
column two was the responsibilities and accomplishments
column three was the dates
Sometimes I'd have text take up columns 2 and 3, and sometimes all three columns. It would mess up the row spacing subtly and drove me fucking mad.
I thought it was a nice, compact format overall.

You got memed on by thinking the format of a resume carries any importance.
By the time an actual human looks at your resume it's already been run through a keyword search algorithm that determines if you're worth interviewing or not.

We agree I am a victim of memes.
Format can matter in some cases, also I've been told people want you to put in the (R) and (TM) symbols and will choose on that basis, which seems ultra-retarded.
