The dangers of multi-tasking in a resume

I read an article lately that addressed the dangers of “multi-tasking” and even in using terms or phrases in your resume to indicate you are a good multi-tasker.   Obviously most of us have multi-tasked (I’m particularly good at walking and chewing bubble-gum) but when we do some tasks simultaneously one is usually the focal point, and the other just kind of happens.  Ever been on the phone while driving and when you hang up you don’t remember a certain stretch of the road?  Resume critics use this to cite that while we feel we do ALL tasks well simultaneously, we really don’t, that one is good and the other is….well, let’s just say it gets done.  So, the next time you want to indicate you’re a great multi-tasker, maybe consider focusing on the few areas that are important to the company and showcase your experience with each singularly.  It may just be the ticket you need in winning an interview, or getting that great job you’re looking for.
