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.
Well, I’m retired now. I only had 4 jobs after finishing my BS.
Congratulations on your competence.
It's not even standard in academia.
Depends on the discipline. I never hear of mathematicians using anything else.
