"beach boy" on resume?

I'm looking for internship opportunities and don't have much real work-experience yet.

I worked as a "beach boy" last summer, where I had to do shifts from 5am to 11am and from 5pm to 11pm. I was responsible for everything from setting up windshields, mattresses and umbrellas to raking the beach (srsly, I didn't even know ppl did this!).

It was real slave labor and I was thinking whether I might be able to translate this into the rough IB-culture?

I know it sounds too silly though :p

since you don't have any good work experience also make sure to put your education on top and everything you've done in school to focus on that. Hopefully you're at a good school and have a good GPA to make up for the no experience.

make it hard to spot the general by working like a soldier
 

Long Island? LOL I thought they had machins for the raking?

If you're in your first year or two of college, you can put whatever and it doesn't matter. If you're closer to graduation, just put "beach safety crew" or some other vague designation. If you're applying to boutiques that don't have sophisticated HR, you might be able to get away with putting "lifeguard" but be careful about it.

Get busy living
