You could do graphics. Then your resumes could look like this (joke
alert):

It has a nice coffee intake plot, though I don't drink coffee that
late
into the day. The humor plot looks nice too. I want to develop an
excel
spreadsheet that tracks a lot of those factors, and more, so I can
copy
this guy's style. A resume should be concise, this would make a nice
'third page', but the first two should still be the normal method.

Good layout, but his lack of Y-axes disconcerts me... does it bother

For a Marketeer? No, that would be another critical skill -
obfuscation (a.k.a. BS in a dress).
