[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Summer jobs, even in retail, camp, etc. have the potential for the following transferrable skills: Multi-tasking Customer relations, which translates to client skills Responsibility Reliability Accountability [/quote] And as a hirer, i’d prefer someone with these skills over someone who spent a summer [b]making copies and playing minesweeper in an internship[/b] [/quote] OP here. It wouldn't be like that. I don't want to get too specific, but the internships he's applied for involve a lot of full days of physical labor. Think along the lines of a forestry major doing an internship at a State Forest, required to live on site/primitive camping, etc. He does have a little "paid work" experience from last summer when his job was more along the lines of ice cream shop/admissions cashier at a water park.[/quote]
