Last night I asked my husband to assist me with updating my resume. He's always had a great way with words and provides constructive criticism.
As a rule, I like keeping my work at home resume to one page. I also keep it to no more then 6 years of work experience.
When completed I save it in Word 97-2003 as well as current Word program. I've found that when forwarding a resume many companies request Word 97-2003.
It's also a good idea to get a third opinion. When Marcus read my resume he suggested that we drop a sentence since it didn't seem necessary.

Why do you limit it to six years? Do you list your previous experience (without details), too? Nowadays up to two pages is generally acceptable, although of course a recruiter will be a lot happier to read one page :)
Many work at home call centers are overwhelmed with thousands of resumes and by keeping it to one page with just 6 years it increases my chances of it being read.
