Back when I used to hire other programmers and sysadmins:
I asked for their resume as plain ASCII text.
Weeded out the wannabe's and buzzword compliant
resume's immediately. I got lots of Word docs 'saved as .txt'.
I hired people that could create/edit a nice looking text file.
Especially when, in the interview, they admitted they created/edited
it with Vim, Emacs, Pico, Joe..
I got told by a headhunter that was not a valid test,
even after explaining that 75+% of a sysadmin's jobs
involved editing text files of some kind.
