How do I know when my resume is ready for distribution?

I have seen many examples of resumes and every site has a different way of writing them. I am not sure, anymore, of the better or best way of detailing a resume.

The best "general" way to write a resume would include:
-Summary of your credentials which would begin your career history.
-You can add "core competencies" which would be hard skills if you are in technology or soft skill i.e. excellent communicator.
-If your education is much more "experienced" then your current work experience; your next section would be Education or Professional Development.
-Following this section would be your Professional Experience. Please make sure you do not blend actual job responsibilities with achievements. If you have achievements make sure this is a separate section within each job. (Start at present position).
-Next 2 sections would include either Education if not utilized in the beginning of your resume and/or affiliations.
-You can end with References upon request.

Without knowing your field this is the best format to follow.

Best of Luck
