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.”

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