you're at the other end of the spectrum; unless you get work in academia this is not an advantange.

I use it to filter recruiters, if they can’t accept (a well typeset) PDF résumé, and insist on Word I know to skip them.

They only ask for Word because they plan to edit it to remove your contact info. Or worse.

So are you getting a lot of offers this way? Anyway, I admire your dogma.

It's not even standard in academia.

Depends on the discipline. I never hear of mathematicians using anything else.

Congratulations on your competence.
