Every applicant and receiver is different.
Point of a resume is to get an invite for an interview.
Generally speaking that you'll get/create the most value by knowing as much as possible about the job, company, staff, etc. - and if possible speaking with the hiring manager before providing a resume; it's rare that a company won't want a resume at all. By delaying handing over a resume though, you have the most opportunity to match it to their expectations.
Main key is to realize how important your first jobs are to your future success and put a lot of effort into finding the best opportunities possible.
