Resumes are an institution created to allow people to throw out resumes.
Typically it would look something like "4 week prospecting trip, fill up 2~3 quarters worth of consulting engagements, fill up last quarter while delivering." This was a hard schedule to sustain after getting married, which is one reason I'm not actively consulting anymore.
But there are many, many ways to do this. A more successful consultant in Ogaki does 90% of his prospecting over Skype.
Try to hit the key words, keep it simple but professional, and keep it crawlable -- don't stray too far from the traditional resume unless it's part of a strategy. this means don't send me a markdown file, or anything in a plain text document, don't make it look like a Google search (it really happened, looked awful and conveyed no useful info) and if the reader cannot immediately pick up on your history in under 10 seconds you've already been screened out..
Send a pdf, so you have better control on presentation, or at worst a .doc file.
This all sounds superficial, but getting hired is a game that has to be played.
