multi-tasking

Is multi-tasking a bullet point on your resume? Well, go ahead and scratch that one off because its meaning is now null and void. This is a generation of multi-taskers - it is inherent in our everyday lives, seeping into the quiet spaces that 'once upon a time' allowed for reflection and deep consideration. Just as that BA in liberal arts or literature or sociology or any of the "soft sciences" or humanties may now seem irrelevant in your job search, multi-tasking is no longer a marketable skill but an expected one. For better or worse.
