I've had recruiters reject anything that isn't in word format.

That's because they can easily edit it or change it before sending it out

I've had recruiters ask for TXT format, which honestly was awesome.

"Whats this gap in your resume?"

"Syntax error"

I see for past experience you put :

CREATE TABLE Resume (
    Field VARCHAR(255) PRIMARY KEY,
    Value VARCHAR(255)
);

INSERT INTO Resume (Field, Value) VALUES
('Experience_1_Title', ''),
('Experience_1_Company', ''),
('Experience_1_Years', ''),
('Experience_1_Description', '.'),
('Experience_2_Title', ''),
('Experience_2_Company', ''),
('Experience_2_Years', ''),
('Experience_2_Description', '.'),
('Skills_1', ''),
('Skills_2', ''),
('Skills_3', ''),
('Skills_4', ''),
('Education_Degree', ''),
('Education_Years', '),
('References', '');

SELECT Field, Value FROM Resume;

-- Bonus Query: Show my most "impressive" skill
SELECT Value FROM Resume WHERE Field = 'Skills_1';

-- Another Bonus: My career trajectory
SELECT Field, Value FROM Resume WHERE Field LIKE 'Experience%';`___`

Did you put some BBS-style ansi art in there?

And I reject their job offers. When I think at how much time I have to write justification of my work in some kind of numerical format, I won't want to be dealing with he standard of someone who doesn't know the different of a working document and finish content to be send to the world.
I'm privileged enough to be able to screen out big red flags out and not needed to find rapidly the next paycheck at the cost of my mental and physical health and I must use that privilege.
