As mentioned previously your resume is extremely important and should definitely be something that you spend a lot of time on. You cannot magically create your resume in a day or two. It's one of those things that takes time and days to complete. In my case, since I am trying to actively find a job I'm going to actively apply for jobs and submit my resume while making changes here and there. I spent several days putting my resume together and I feel that it is definitely presentable at the moment. It ain't perfect but it will definitely be enough, at least that's what I think. Hahaha.
Here is a quick guide to what you should make sure of on your resume:
1. Make sure it's spelling & grammar error free
2. Make sure your contact information is there & accurate (Trust me you'll be surprised how many people don't put their information on their resume, sometimes the number isn't even working!)
3. Let a 3rd person review your resume (It's ALWAYS a good idea to get a third opinion on your resume, sometimes they can see errors or changes that you may not have noticed)
4. Once you're done with your resume let it sit and review again the next day
5. Before submitting make sure you review your resume for the last time!
6. Be sure that it's easily readable & it's organized
7. Formatting is okay!
Once your resume is up to par it is time to submit it everywhere!
