How to Make Any Job Sound Interesting

Your internship may have involved a few administrative tasks that were a little on the tedious side (hey, we all started from the bottom). Despite this, you’re back in school now. You’ve got a reputation to keep up. Use the responses below when your friends start asking, “So, what were you up to this summer?”  You’ll be able to impress anyone – and keep your street cred intact.

Reality: You grabbed your boss’s coffee this summer.

You say: “I managed employee engagement and productivity.”

Reality: You made 1,000 copies for anyone who asked.

You say: I handled the company’s sensitive policies to ensure that our team was on the same page.

Reality: You answered a TON of phone calls and emails.

You say: “I was pretty much the master of client communications.”

Reality: You organized the company’s file cabinet.

You say: “I directed the collection and classification of high-profile data to create sound institutional knowledge for the company.”

Reality: You were basically your boss’s calendar. Meetings, parties, kids’ soccer games, you name it – you kept track of his/her entire schedule.

You say: “I made sure our brand was well represented by prepping our CEO for all public interactions.”

But really, no need to front…just go to wayup.com. We’ve got cool jobs.

It can only be accessed by a button in our secure log that auto generates a password and dumps that password after the staff member has logged in. We have taken extreme measures to ensure that our own user is not going to be misused to harm any of our clients sites.
