"They will probably just stick with Word, but they will often still find the LaTeX-produced resumes better looking"

Can someone show me examples of what constitutes "better looking" when comparing these two tools for CVs?

IMO (La)TeX output looks professional when printed on paper with a decent laser printer. You need to look very close. Difference is in very small details. I would guess that it has more accurate font face calculations and positioning as every character looks perfect.
