+
+    Relevant excerpt:
+
+        Your resume is going to go through a bunch of automated transformation tools and
+        will be mangled horribly along the way. Any non-ASCII character, such as those
+        nonstandard Microsoft Word bullets, or any accented character, or (heaven help
+        you) Unicode will be turned into our old favorite, the question-mark character ("?").
+
+        You don't want your resume to look like this:
+
+          Resum? for Bob?T???Moblin
+          ?Experience
+            1997?Present?  Vice?F???**??didn?t?do?sh???for?ten?yea???
+
+        So write it in plain text. Yes. Text. You know. Like from a typewriter, or
+        Windows Notepad. ABCs, not PDF.
+
+        Don't expect any whitespace to make it through except newlines and single spaces.
+        And don't assume your resume will be viewed in a fixed-width font. If you make
+        a nice pretty formatted table using tab characters, it will look like ascii-art
+        smoke signals by the time a human being looks at it.
+
+        The maximum amount of ASCII art you can get away with, and even this is
+        stretching it, is hyphenated lines and bullets. For instance, this might be OK:
+
+        Education
+        ---------
+          * B.S. Computer Science, University of Wherever, 1997
+          * M.S. Resume Writing, 2003
+            – graduated .357 magnum
+
+        But I wouldn't overdo it.
+
+        If your name has accent characters in it, your best bet is to change your name.
+        For instance, if your name is Pièrre l'Éléphant, think about whether you'd
+        prefer to have it seen as "Pi?rre l'?l?phant" or "Pierre l'Elephant". Sure,
+        your accented characters might make it through, but I'd play it safe.
+
+        HTML formatting usually makes it through safely because it's plain text. However,
+        even if your tags are left alone by the automated mangler, there's no guarantee 
+        that your resume will be viewed from a browser, and nobody wants to read through
+        a bunch of ugly markup while they're trying to assess your skills. So you
+        shouldn't use HTML either.
+
+        Text! All the best resumes are plain text. Use text.
