This is particularly amusing because 6 or so months ago I had to write a résumé as part of a "career unit" in my Engish class. I was fed up with the whole thing -- what we had been taught seemed totally obvious to me and I was pretty much only doing busy work -- so I decided to write mine in JSON, and its schema happened to look pretty similar to this one's! The best part of the story, however, is that my awesome English teacher (only doing the unit because of the district), understanding of my interest in tech, loved it and thought it was clever and so gave me full points on it.

Was in a similar situation with a less happy ending. I had already generated a LaTeX résumé starting from around 2010. However, this year in an English course, I had to rewrite one in Microsoft Word, which was the only method accepted.
