Handling embedded new lines when creating/selecting External Tables in SQL Data Warehouse

In SQL Data Warehouse (editors please don't change this, it is the actual name see: here) I have a JobCandidate_ext external table that looks like this.

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE [HumanResources].[JobCandidate_ext](
    [JobCandidateID] int,
    [BusinessEntityID] int,
    [Resume] Varchar(8000),
    [ModifiedDate] Datetime
)
WITH (
    LOCATION='/[HumanResources].[JobCandidate]/data.txt',
    DATA_SOURCE=AzureStorage,
    FILE_FORMAT=TextFile)
GO

The column [Resume] was an XML type in SQL Server but in SQL Data Warehouse XML types should be converted to varchar(8000) as described here.

I am using a flat file data.txt to export the data to a blob and then create an external table from it.

The [Resume] column has carriage returns in it (as expected from an XML file), and so when you run a SELECT * FROM [HumanResources].[JobCandidate_ext] you get an error. In this case:

Query aborted-- the maximum reject threshold (0 rows) was reached while reading from an external source: 1 rows rejected out of total 2 rows processed.
(/[HumanResources].[JobCandidate]/data.txt)Column ordinal: 0, Expected data type: INT, Offending value: some text .... (Column Conversion Error), Error: Error converting data type NVARCHAR to INT.

I know that I cannot configure a row delimiter when creating external tables as described here.

The row delimiter must be UTF-8 and supported by Hadoop’s LineRecordReader. The row delimiter must be either '\r', '\n', or '\r\n'. These are not user-configurable.

And if you try to put quotes on each column field you get this error while selecting rows from the external table: No closing string delimiter.

Query aborted-- the maximum reject threshold (0 rows) was reached while reading from an external source: 1 rows rejected out of total 1 rows processed.
(/[HumanResources].[JobCandidate]/data.txt)Column ordinal: 2, Expected data type: VARCHAR(8000) collate SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, Offending value: 'ShaiBassli (Tokenization failed), Error: No closing string delimiter.

Is there a way to get around this issue?
