Help building a resume?

Hey y'all! I'm applying internally to a different department at my company (that I have no experience in, but have always wanted to migrate into) and I've also been contacted by a recruiter for a pretty big name in an industry I worked in for about 8 years but left a little over a year ago. Both have requested an updated resume. Problem is, I'm pretty sure the resume I have (that doesn't include my current job as I haven't updated it since being hired here a year ago) is pretty crap as is and I've always been terrible at resumes. It's funny, because I'm very well spoken and I've been told my emails are so professional I've made people in administrative roles with degrees for that stuff question their own capabilities.

Problem is, I'm pretty sure the resume I have (that doesn't include my current job as I haven't updated it since being hired here a year ago) is pretty crap as is and I've always been terrible at resumes. It's funny, because I'm very well spoken and I've been told my emails are so professional I've made people in administrative roles with degrees for that stuff question their own capabilities.

But for some reason trying to quantify what I bring to the table on paper is nigh on impossible for me. Is there anyone here who might be able to help me get something drafted? I'm trying to get something on paper by tomorrow afternoon, so you can see how great my time management skills are already!

Thanks in advance, even if nobody can help. I know this isn't technically the spirit of this sub but I'm not sure where else to look. I mostly use reddit for funny stories and memes to share with my wife since she's only ever on TikTok.
