Resumes
"Do I really need a resume? What do people write in resumes?"
You need to perfect your resume (cv) before applying for your 1st job. Since you are fresher out of college, use your education as your strong point.
Yes you really need to make your resumes and how you present yourself in that resume will go a long way towards getting you your first job. Not only is a well-made resume important for all freshers, it is more critical for fresher placements. A resume is a mirror of your professional identity. A well-defined resume impresses a recruiter. A sloppy resume immediately proclaims the candidate to be sloppy.

Some tips for a good covering letter are:
1. Be sure to address your cover letter --by name and title -- to the person who could actually hire you. When it's impossible to learn their name, use their functional title, such as "Dear Manager."
2. Show that you know a little about the company, and that you are aware of their current problems, interests, or priorities.
3. Express your enthusiasm and interest in this line of work and this company.
4. Project warmth and friendliness, while still being professional.
5. Make a personal link to a specific individual in that company, if at all possible -- also called "name dropping."
6. Set yourself apart from the crowd. Identify at least one thing about you that's unique.
7. Be specific about what you are asking for and what you are offering. Make it clear which position you're applying for.
8. Take the initiative about the next step whenever possible, and be specific.
9. Keep it brief -- a few short paragraphs, all on one page.
