Thank you! TeX gets all the credit.

Oh definitely. This is intended as a Curriculum Vitae as opposed to a resume.
Every recruiter I have talked to has specifically asked for the former when I
mention it exists hence my opting for the CV in here too.

When applying to specific positions, I generally craft a tailored resume out,
pairing down to 2 pages as you suggest.

Indeed, the elementary school does seem excessive. However, Japanese companies
tend to expect that information in my experience. I have been asked to provide
it before. It makes sense for finding some social connections---hey, we went to
the same elementary school!---if you happen to grow up here, but in this case
it's just me covering the formal bases.

Ouch. Not sure why spellcheck missed that one. Thank you for the close read!

Hrm. Mind elaborating on this? Feel like you might be pointing at an impression
I give off that needs work.
