An agent is someone who secures auditions, contacts casting directors, and networks in the industry on your behalf. For them to take you on as a client means that they must believe that eventually you'll make them money.  Generally, an agent-client relationship is based on contracts to be signed, rather than a monthly fee.

A resume is a formalized list of all your work experience as related to the field. In other words, no need to list your high school fast food jobs on your acting resume. Ask other actors to recommend you to their agency and see if you can secure a consultation meeting at some point in the near future. Discuss you desire to secure representation from the agency and your goals for your career.  Be realistic and...
