I need help working on a resume

So, I'm doing a Work and Travel program later this year, and I'm going to the USA. I need to work on a resume, but the template I was given is... a bit silly. Does anyone have a resume of their own that I can take a look at?

Also, how do degrees over there work? I want to put in my resume than I'm currently pursuing a Law degree but I don't know what it is. A major? A Bachelor's?

I already have data somewhat organized in a Curriculum Vitae in Spanish, but the display sure is a lot different.

Thanks in advance folks.

For the degree part, I would put

"X credits completed towards (insert degree here)"

My resume template is as follows (this has no formatting but my original does)
============================


Name
Address
Phone (home + cell)
Email

(Insert job I'm applying for)

Career goal

(insert what I want to do/what job i'm looking for)

Personal strong points

(Insert what I'm particularly good at that the company is looking for)

Education (My education is listed before work experience because i'm newly graduated and don't have much work experience. If you have it the other way around, put work experience first)

(Insert school + location)
(Insert degree + time of completion)

Key skills (I broke mine into 2 subsets of general skills + computer skills)

(insert skills in bullet form)

Work experience

(Insert name of place, location, what you accomplished there, and from when-when you worked)
