Not that long ago, I, like probably so many other job seekers, took great pains to embed phrases like "great multi-tasker" and "can juggle many projects simultaneously" in every cover letter I sent out. It was one of those things that I'm sure everyone took for granted that a college-educated person should be capable of. Like a Chinese juggler frantically trying to keep all the plates spinning. (Okay, well the only impression I had of this was from an old Commodore 64 game, but a YouTube search informed me that this is much more elegant than I could have imagined.)
