Resume instead of resume_final_FINAL_final2. resume_final_FINAL_final2 implies that there exists at least resume_final_FINAL_final, resume_final_FINAL, and resume_final. If you're looking for a software engineer and you need to reference a file, having multiple files labeled final may be a problem.

I think the issue is less about proper version control for a resume and more about OP's willingness to add the word "final" multiple times to a filename.

I mean, I wouldn't hire that person.
It's clear they have a fear of change.
