Almost everywhere I have applied even as a software engineer, I've always been asked to submit my resume in text or MS Word format. I've honestly never seen a place to submit an XML resume

90% of jobs are never posted to websites....getting a position with some companies depends on your resume landing in the right email....just saying.

Cpl,
I am by no means a SME but from a third party opinion I think it looks a bit busy. I think a minimalist/easy to read design that displays your skills might catch the eye better. Just my personal opinion though.

I think this is a great format for nailing the interview. However, I think that you need a traditional resume to get to the interview.

As an addendum, remember that you cannot control which browser will be used at what version to view your HTML code. Therefore you cannot control what is being viewed or how it is being viewed. Which is why I always send PDF, and if they insist on another format, they get their format as well as PDF.
