Yes it's on every resume I've ever looked at. The employee I prefer is the one who knows how to prioritize and focus on specific tasks...through completion.
See, with multi-tasking, people tend not to focus enough on each task. Hence, the term "scatter-brained." They're all over the place...
Multi-tasking is the reason in corporate settings, projects tend to take 2-3 times longer than they should. (Among other problems, of course)
But I guarantee if I were to give two employees the same amount of work over a weeks time, and one attempts to multi-task, jumping from item to item...and the other systematically plans out the week with daily priorities and completing small goals each day -- the "planner" will feel a greater sense of accomplishment and the multi-tasker will typically have work that is incomplete at the end of the week.
