How can you build a good resume for an internship this summer?

Hello, this is my very first post here on WSO.
So I'm very interested in applying for a summer internship in business and finance fields, but I don't know if I'm qualified for one, and I would like to ask you how to build a good resume and if I have a chance of getting an internship this summer.
Here's a little background about me.. I'm 19 years old, sophomore year at community college. I had to go to a community college because I've done high school overseas. My major is Management Information Systems (MIS).
The only good thing on my resume is that I've worked as an interpreter. (This is the one and only job that I've had in my life)
I would love to work at a place like GS, E&Y, PwC, KPMG.. So how can I build a resume for one?
Thank you all in advance!

Boreed, your answer is exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you for that!

After research: Since I'm still at the beginning of my road and don't have so much experience in this field, my chances of getting an internship at a well known investment banking firm are pretty low.. So what I'm going to do is to start out with an unpaid internship at Hilton Worldwide Inc. as it will make my resume look better.
