The one thing I can recommend making your resume more visually appealing.

In its current state it's a very bare document and to me looks more like a bullet outline of a resume. This could mean you come off as not having put a lot of effort into making it. Obviously don't overdo it, but making it look like a professional document will give you a much better starting point. When I opened the link, I had to come back to the Ask HN post to see if you had stripped the styling from your resume.

You clearly have a wealth of experience in a number of fields, don't let the formatting let you down. Your resume is supposed to advertise you and make you sound appealing. I agree with tlb's suggestion to get rid of the 'limited work experience' footnote, it's not doing you any favours.

Thank you! I hadn't visited the formatting since college so I suppose it's time to give it another look :-). Appreciate the tip.
