1. Please find my resume [that has been] attached. OR 1a.

— Just the truth

  • 1.
  • Please find my resume [that has been] attached.
  • OR 1a.
  • Please find my resume [that I've] attached.
  • Here 'attached' is a past participle which is actually part of an ellipted phrase.

Hello Guest and M&M

I'm more used to reading 'Please find attached my XYZ' (or 'Please find enclosed').

This is the standard idiom in BrE. (I wouldn't know about AmE.)
