I've just started job hunting again and have been maintaining two
versions:

  - PDF as generated by latex (with the most recent GhostScript 
      tools from: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ which look nice 
      both on-screen and in print)

  - ASCII (from the PDF by cut-'n-paste with minor edits)
