I don't really have a template handy, but my suggestion would to be to keep it simple and organized, without a bunch of extraneous information. To some extent resume formats will depend on the type of job you're applying for though.

I'd suggest having education at the top (university/college degrees - when I'm looking at a resume I don't care what elementary school some one went to), along with job experience. You should also have sections highlighting key skills you have that are relevant to the job you're applying for. Major activities unrelated to the job could be added to demonstrate that you're well-rounded, but don't put down every single club you belonged to in university or every sport you've ever played. Use lots of point form/bullets, and don't have it all crammed together. For an entry-level job usually 1 page or a bit longer would usually be enough.
