Get the book "Acting: Make It Your Business". This book shows you the dos and don'ts of resumes, headshots, auditioning, etc. You can also subscribe to the author (Paul Russell) on Facebook. There are many similar books out there, but I find this to be one of the best (he also is a casting director).
Do not put extra work on your resume if you want to be viewed as a professional serious actor. Extra work is not acting, it's just work that helps pay the bills and sometimes helps make connections. Your resume (as you would see in this book) would not list non-acting jobs on it. While you are building your resume, you can have training on there, and can bulk it up with anything you've done in class as well (list it as a showcase or something similar, especially if it was an open class performance where outside people were invited to attend).
Continue with acting classes. Look up headshots; ask friends for advice on photographers within your budget. You NEED a professional headshot. Find out where castings are listed. Start auditioning. Looks like you are near Chicago(?)...Actor's Access is on casting site that lists auditions in your area.
