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.

2. Please find my attached resume.

Here 'attached' is an adjective.

Isn't there any difference in meaning?

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.)
