There are a number of excellent software programs available online so that you can create a professional looking resume. Some are free, others are relatively inexpensive (I have one called Resume Creator which I really liked but is no longer available). Most of them not only provide dozens of different templates, but also sample resumes for various fields. The nice thing about using these programs is that it is very easy to edit and update your resume as necesary without having to consult an "expert" (and having to pay for this service).

When it is time to print (assuming you don't have a printer) you can put the resume on a flash drive and bring it to Staples, Office Depot, Office Max or Kinkos and have them print it (splurge on a high quality, heavy bond paper).

When I taught Business Writing at University of North Carolina-Wilmington most of my students used these types of programs and they all produced excellent resumes.
