resume work experience question (consulting)

k so i got a question about listing work experience on my resume. I'm heading into my summer between 3rd and 4th year undergrad at a target canadian business school. I'm starting an internship at a brand name financial services firm in May, but my past summer work experience has been extremely unimpressive (deliver boy). That being said, i'm still able to conjure up some decent sounding bullet points

I want to recruit for consulting come full-time recruiting in september (i got the grades to do it). should i put this past summer job on my resume for consulting recruiting, or should I just focus on what I do this upcoming summer? on the one hand, i want to focus on the work i do this summer since it's by far the most impressive, but on the other hand i want recruiters to know i did have a job before this summer.

Thoughts?

Whatever you wrote up there in quotes sounded like BS. Don't write that.

Did you have the same job each summer? If so, that commitment looks solid. Just come up with 3 solid bullet points for it. If not and it was a random crappy summer job for 3 months, delete it. Keep just the best out of the crappy ones and the internship (having just the internship there would look weird).
