I will start by saying I will probably regret this. I need to write up a resume, so any useful tips in the formatting or content would be appreciated. Oh, and if I put this in the wrong forum, move it, there isn't a resume forum, thank god.

Go to microsoft word and go to the premade template.  Doesn't get any easier than that.

Thanks. I am still confused about what exactly to put in there though. I am going to list my name address and phone #, previous work (2 jobs with the most recent first) and a nice quote at the bottom. What else do I need? I havent done this before.

experience, education (even listing classes you've taken and shit), GPA (if its good)...really, just put anything that makes you look impressive...

a few helpful things to have are
1)reference numbers and reference letter to go with the resume. You have to ask for those from your previous employer tho, if you left the company/firm on a good note they ushually wont have a problem giving you a good endorsment. 
2)if you have perticular awards/skills/certifications those are good to put on it.
3)If you have first aid and/or cpr cert's then put that on there

those are just a few things you want to consider to put on there

There are tons of resources online! Just search for example resumes that are of the same job type. Also, make sure you don't make it more than one page...that's shitty.
