This is the reason why I gave up TeX about five years ago, at least for
short documents. The elegance of its approach is wasted on documents
such as resumes and invoices, and the pain of clean document exchange
with the outside world ended up being just not worth the bother.

Remember that the whole purpose of this exercise is communications,
which require that multiple conventions (language, written tone,
character set, etc., even font selection) need to be agreed to by sender
and recipient. What is convenient, elegant, efficient to only one side
of the transaction is irrelevant unless these things are more important
than the communications itself.

The submission of a resume is not the time/place to be lecturing the
reader on their choice of acceptable file formats. If you get the job
the opportunity will present itself later.
