Im currently converting RAW to JPEG by doing any resizing/adjustments, converting to JPEG then sharpening the JPEG.
Should I be doing any resizing/adjustments and then sharpen before I convert to JPEG?

At least some of your sharpening should be done at the RAW level, but resizing will destroy some of the sharpness, so you will need to sharpen again if you resize during the conversion.

With the latest versions of DPP you have the added benefit of USM sharpening on the RAW panel.

Youre right, in the raw tab I use the unsharpen mask, convert to JPG, then resharpen the JPEG. So I guess Im doing it right?

What you could do is first convert and resize to a tiff and do an "output sharpen" and then do a final conversion to a jpeg. This would save you from a "double jpeg compression" and so prvent any needless loss. Test things out for yourself -- you may be happy with just a quick sharpen and convert out of your Raw processing, or you may want to go more elaborate and maybe more carefully.

See thats what I was trying to avoid or clarify (compressing the JPG file twice). I like your method of converting to TIFF first, I'll try that from now on. Thanks!
