Resume Writing Tip for Word 2007 Users
If you've upgraded to Word 2007, the program will automatically save your file in .docx format. However, many employers have not yet upgraded their systems and won't be able to open .docx files unless they've installed a compatibility pack (or use a free file conversion program such as Zamzar).
It's not worth taking the chance that your resume will be skipped because of the extra trouble converting the file. Instead, save as a regular .doc or .rtf file before sending to hiring managers.
