Send me an add, I do résumé critiques for freshmen.
Quick Tips:
1. Take a look at some online templates and examples
2. It *should* be catered to a specific audience/company (style AND content)
3. Make sure there are no spelling errors, it will get thrown out immediately without a 2nd look by almost every recruiter

put in your esea/ugc history and what classes you prefer to play. Do not link any logs.

I've done HR work for a few different firms, I'd be more than happy to help you with your resume. I can definitely help with the formatting and wording. Shoot me a PM with a link or something and I can take a look.

if you don't have good/impressive work experience then put that at the bottom and then put your relevant skills and qualifications from your college program at the top, that's what I did and I got a lot more interviews. Just take things from your program description if you need to
also if you still don't get any interviews and feel your experience is lacking then do some volunteering in your field, even if it's just a few hours you can put it on and it looks really good to employers

Your university will give you some guidance too and they won't ask for keys in return.

One thing I have learned is, don't make just one CV, make a template and then adapt/change each one accordingly to the job you're applying to. It's a bit more work but it pays off.
Other than that check some templates online and change it up according to your preferences.

This isn't necessarily related to your question, but related to applying to jobs in general. Probably the best advice I can give is, if you are often required to submit cover letters with job applications in the states (large % in Australia advise it), then do it, and make sure you adapt it to the job you are applying for.
For an example a retail job maybe:
"To the hiring manager,
I would like to apply for a role as an x , as advertised on abcdefg.com.
My previous positions have helped me develop skils essential to this role:
-Time management
-Performing well under pressure
-Problem solving & decision making
I am available to work so and so hours as described on the job listing.
Blah blah I look forward to hearing from you"
Also @ Kaneco - aren't CV's and resume's actually different?

In the US, resumes are strictly one page tailored to the invidual position while CV's are often 5+ pages with a full list of accomplishments, in-depth explanation of positions, all research project, and relevant hopes/dreams/life goals. We really don't ask for CV's here, that's mostly a European thing from what I've seen.

From what I gather it's kinda used interchangeably around here, altough very few people if any use the term résumé, since its a french term. Pretty much everyone calls it a CV and it doesn't necessarily mean it's a 5 page document with the story of your life. My first CV was only 1 page.
Except if they ask for a presentation letter or cover letter in your CV, in which case that's the first page and the CV itself is from the 2nd page onwards.
There's also the europass model which is kinda of a CV template set by the european union which is a bit more indepht in some areas and you can generate it automatically on their website.Some companies already ask for a CV in the europass model, but it's not really that widespread in Portugal.

Resumes in Australia are like 5 pages but a resume everywhere else shouldn't be more than a page.

The only time I've ever seen CVs in the US is for academia - lots of professors list the research they've done, papers they've published, long lists of things relevant to their field of study over the course of a lifetime.

i've done recruiting events with an hr manager in my past job and she always gave extra notice to people who included cover letters with their resumes. i would include one no matter what. they're a bit of a pain to first write out but once you have one, they're very easy to adjust according to the position and company you're applying to, and i can tell you it'll get you a ton more attention.
