Both Gates and Allen structured their early resumes similarly. First, they listed computer-related coursework — where Gates points out he received all As in the courses mentioned, like Operating Systems Structure, Data Base Management and Computer Graphics. Next came the computer programming languages in which they were proficient. Finally, came work experience.

Interestingly, they also both listed their height, weight and marital status — something that wouldn’t fly today for someone working in computer programming.

Gates, 18 at the time, was 5′ 10″ and weighed 130 pounds. He was “unmarried.”

Allen, then 21, was 5′ 11″ and weighed 185 pounds. He was also “unmarried.”

Gates and Allen went on to found Micro-Soft together in 1975 in Albuquerque, N.M. The next year they would rename the computing company Microsoft and in 1979 they moved the company to Washington state. Today, Microsoft has a market cap of more than $550 billion.

Both Gates and Allen’s resumes were shared on Twitter by Fast Company’s technology editor, Harry McCracken. He took the photos at the Living Computers Museum in Seattle, he says.
