Default resume help

hi everyone, i'm in the middle of writing a co-op resume and i need some help. I'm majoring in Marketing and i had a job as an office clerk. I need to find skills that i developed as an office clerk that would be relevent to a marketing job.

for example, if i worked as a waitress i could say that i acquired problem solving and communication skills while dealing with customers.

here are the things that i did as an office clerk:
-handled client files
-filing clients' portfolios in the appropriate cabinets
-photocopying and stapling clients' tax receipts

all the skills that i could come up with was
-Trusted to handle all confidential client files (not even a skill)
-Acquired organization skills while filing clients' portfolios in the appropriate cabinets
-Developed time management skills while photocopying and stapling clients' tax receipts

this seems realy dull. anyone have any ideas to spice it up? any advice would be greatly appreciated!
