Objective - I'm looking for xyz type of position in abc industry in jkl area.

Summary - 2-sentence blurb about me.

Education
School - city, state
degree, major, status (if still in school)

Work history

Company, location, dates worked
Title
3 bullet points of things you did there that might be relevant to what you're applying for

(repeat above up to 4 times)

Second page of references, friends and coworkers are fucking worthless and nobody is going to call them. Direct Supervisors are best, people above them who actually knew who the hell you were are fine too.

Presumably this will be for submitting online, but if you get a face-to-face interview, go to Office Depot or whatever and print it on Resume Paper, put it in a resume folder, and put the folder inside the resume envelope. Tiny bit of money spent shows you're serious about presenting yourself.

I am currently a blah blah blah (in your case, student pursuing a blah blah blah degree at blah blah blah school). Outside of school, my current position at blah blah blah and previous positions at blah blah bah and blah blah blah have provided me with practical experience in (field you are applying for).

(The Schmooze...here you kiss their ass) I am impressed by what I have learned about Blah Blah Blah Corp in my internet research. Random couple attributes they sell themselves with on their website is commendable. I think blah blah blah resources will provide a good opportunity for any prospective member of your blah blah blah team.

I would enjoy the opportunity to meet with you in order to further discuss my qualifications. You may contact me at (phone number) or by email at (email). Thank you for taking the time to consider my application.

Sincerely,
