good point
To thwart the dysfunctional "candidate management systems"/"applicant management systems" and their resume parsers, one should choose an italic, scripty font -- Brush Script, Zapfino, PilGi, Apple Chancery -- and take advantage of Unicode to utilize those special shmooshed together characters at every opportunity (fl, fi, ae, oe...).
Then take an image of your resume and send it to them as a lossy compressed image.
The object is to undermine the automated systems and the bodyshoppers, and get a thoughtful, conscientious human being to call you, one who is much more likely to take active measure to place a great candidate like you in a real, full-time, long-term fulfilling job where you can thrive developing great software products, and thus be both compensated and praised in line with the quality of your work.
