Making bitch work sound glamorous

How do I make past BS secretarial work for a BB sound more important when applying for an IB internship the next summer?

i just don't know how much i can stretch answering phones and making copies into sounding like something more meaningful.. or will even that secretary "experience" look good for when i apply to IB internships next summer.. btw im an entering freshman

For phone work, just say you maintained relationships with clients on a regular basis. For office work, just don't say "performed administrative tasks." Use better verbs like "assisted," "produced," or "developed," even if you really didn't produce/develop anything. Don't worry, you have to start somewhere.

Also, don't count on getting an IB internship after freshman year (or even sophomore).
