    Content wise I think it looks good. You've kept it short and consise enough that it will mostly likely get read when it hits someones inbox.

    I'll agree with lind that you should revisit the layout, choise of fonts and use of type... that could use some work imo. Personally I like resume in HTML the most because they are "lighter" than a pdf (I just don't like opening Pdf's but thats me). Plaintext resumes are the best but then you dont have much freedom with fonts and layout.

    But yeah, ultimate for me is looking over a short resume done tastefully in HTML (with CSS) and then having a look at 10 or so of the best pieces of work w/ 1-2 line descriptions... only more then 10 if they are excellent.

    I always likened looking through resume like checking out a new CD or record... your going to scan it real quick first and judge weather to go further based on 15-30 seconds of preview... it seems to be the same with resumes. Keep these things in mind.

    Hope this helps-
