my 2 cents

For industry jobs, don't be afraid to go to 2 pages. List languages and other technical skills, as mentioned above. List publications and/or conference presentations if you're trying for a fairly senior position (or an R&D oriented place like Mathworks); be sure to stress ability to work on team and ship product, for software firms. I don't think GPA will matter much if you have work experience, and if you have good references from industry folks.

Also, do make a Word version.

CM -- who cares. They're much more interested in the content than the fact that you used Tex and didn't change the default font.
