Make your own, it's not that hard. Just make sure you proof it numerous times and have at least two friends look it over as well.
I would aim to fit it on one page, 1" to .5" margins. Use active voice and action words. Quantitative data and and numbers if possible (problem + action = result). Ensure propper formatting and spacing (do not use template). Make sure you're only putting related jobs and skills on the resume. A good cover letter should probably be a focus as well. Here is a resume I made in a business writing class which should give you a basic idea of what you need to do. You could probably ditch the highlights section which would give you more room for education and work experience. 
Here is an example of how many employers scan resumes. Notice where they look (beginning, professional experience, and end / education section) and what gets skipped (wall of text, middle of document)
