Three multitasking myths that can derail a career

The ability to multitask may seem like an achievement, but according to Anne Grinols, a Baylor University business professor, it's not a skill worth including on a resume.

“Employers are more interested in outcomes than efforts,” Grinols says in a release. “Multitasking refers to the latter.”

Instead, Grinols, also the assistant dean for faculty development and college initiatives in Baylor's Hankamer School of Business, suggests indicating “expertise in multiple areas, timely production and excellence in outcomes.”
