My first stop would be to Google sample resumes from the internet.
Read through a couple of them (of course, the more the better). Jot down points which are relevant to yourself. Once you have some ideas how resumes are written, start one of your own. While it is easy to just copy one and modify from there, it does not have that personal touch which only you yourself can produce.
Plus, during a job interview, if questioned about any point in the resume, you would know exactly how to respond to that since you wrote the resume instead of just having it copied somewhere. Remember, HR personnel reads thousands of resumes and a copied resume is like one of the many thousands they have read. Make yours stand out by being the unique one out there.
