Interesting.
My father, who is a head administrator with the Department of Education, said I should lose them.
In that final hour, when each breath is a struggle to take, and you are looking back over your life's accomplishments, which memories would you treasure? The empires you built, or the joy you spread to others?
Therin lies the true measure of a man.

Hey, my dad's been wrong before...
...not that you'll ever get him to admit it, and not very often, but he does make mistakes occasionally. ;)

Since it's HTML
..why not just copy the beautiful layout of these fora and replace posts with experience?

All text.
No HTML is allowed in the resume.

My solution to that is...
To write an HTML resume, and dump it to text with Lynx. \r\n\r\n More accurately -- a Makefile, which when run against an HTML format of my resume, produces text, PS, PDF, and RTF (masquerading as DOC) formats. Plust twists. [link|http://tinyurl.com/lu0f|Usenet post]. --\r\n

What part of "gestalt" don't you understand?\r\n

Well, yeah, that's the sensible solution...
...but we can't all be as cool as you, Karsten. ;)

You know the audience...
You said a department of the EPA?
Typical U.S. Corporate HR drones tend to like 1-2 page resumes, bullet points, buzzwords, easily digestible.
For these guys, it's all about feeding them into a resume shredder, finding the right buzzwords, then popping out about 15-25 resumes from the 3000 that came in through HR. (BTW, these come AFTER the 5-10 resumes each headhunter has supplied them with.)
Typical U.S. corporation wants your most recent experience, last 24-36 months. Anything prior is "inconsequential".
Academic, U.S. Government tend to be more like your father says. They want a Curriculum Vitae, not a Resume. They want your "entire" employment history (easier for the background check). They want contacts at every company you've ever worked for. They want "paragraphs".
You know the audience, you already will get into the running. So I would say, do what you think you should here.
