I’ve been in the Unix world since before it was mostly Linux, and this kind of proposal comes up fairly regularly, but even back in the day it was pretty rare to see the raw number—everyone used ctime() or the equivalent in their shell or language of choice for human use. If you’re going to format it for human use while still being easily computer-usable, just use ISO8601.
I did once use epoch-seconds as the timestamps on a resume. I don’t know if it helped or hurt, but I got the job.
