They get so many applicants from all over the place that they don't hire people to manually look at each resume. They just feed all the resumes through scanning machine and use some grep tool to find all the "important" words. It's probably better to have your resume on a very white sheet of paper that can be easily scanned. Wouldn't it suck if you spent $10 on super-special paper and nobody even bothered to look at it?
