One great benefit that she doesn't touch on is LaTeX makes for a great on-ramp to generating resumes programmatically. I like to use different emails for different services (service@mydomain.com), especially when data is being hoovered into HR systems. Building a pdf at the command line made it easy to create a one-line command (via makefile) that generates a small png with the desired email and insert it into the resume with 0 effort or fuss.
I found that my primary email address has been "leaked" during my first job hunt, and ever since I have received countless spam. This is a great idea and I plan on using it from now on.
I used makefiles for different kinds of jobs to put emphasis on different aspects of the things i have done, and it works quite well!
