especially in this economy, the recepient doesn't have much time to look over the hundreds of resumes they may receive for one job opening. be concise, brief, and simplify your experience into as least words as possible.....try to keep it to 1 page. do a search online for resume creating, or whatever. if you're totally in the dark about it, consult someone in the know. it's usually your first impression, and you need it right to get you to the next step. good luck!
