Hi,
I agree with Daniel. PD can help as any other programming language or technology knowledge. I have worked on several projects through knowledge of PD. Now, I'm working in a scientific project wheres PD is one of the main tools of my job.

In my limited experience and opinion:
Pd _by itself_ does not lead to a lot of job opportunities. However, when used as a tool in combination with other platforms to create products/outcomes, it can be a very efficient way to create software that has a live audio component (particularly due to the existence of libpd). And examples of work are what is going to benefit your resume more than an individual skill (which most people will not be familiar with).
For me, I was a freelance mobile developer for a few years. I benefitted from Pd as a skill, as I was working on audio-oriented mobile apps. While for some jobs I wrote native code for audio (in Objective-C or Java), in others I used Pd to make the audio engines. It was of particular benefit, since I could write the patch once, and then use it for both Android and iOS (although I still had to write a native wrapper for each platform).
With the increased use of libpd as an embeddable audio engine for apps and games, there may be increased demand. But to be hire-able, you'll want to know the text-based languages that will be used as a wrapper for that application, and be able to write that part of the software as well.
Your milage may vary.

I'm learning PD for fun and personal interest, but I was wondering if it's good résumé material as well.
Did any of you, or someone you know, find jobs based on PD skills?
Thanks in advance for your experiences.
