You don't bullshit what you did. Instead, focus on the fact that you took the initiative to do grunt work to get first-hand exposure to working at a fortune 100 company. That initiative will look a lot better than you pretending to have done something you didn't. Also, networking with people at your company will be much more valuable in the long-term than putting it nicely on your resume.
By the time you do FT recruiting, you probably won't even have room for this on your resume. Plus you're a HS student... I would be amazed if a HS student could step in and do anything more than grunt work. Like dictatorcloudy said, don't lie about what you did. That would be obvious to an interviewer and make you look horrible.
thanks. of course i'm not going to lie, but i don't want to just write "made copies" on my resume, you know?
Try "prepared documents for presentation to ..."
thanks
Just make sure you figure out a way to quantify the revenue you personally brought into the firm, very important
Correct. If you can do it on a per-copy basis, all the better.
just put this:
Focus on improving any process you're on (might be reorganizing folders so things are saved more intuitively), this is what I would expect from a high school student at a F500 internship. But don't stress. Trust me when I say you are way ahead of the curve.
Thanks, i was actually pretty mad about the tasks i was given, but you guys are great. thanks again
Yeah, like everyone else has been saying it is definitely more about the exposure if you're in high school.
