Multi-tasking
你是否擅長於multi-tasking或在同一時間完成多項任務? "This week we need you to write a report, make a presentation, and review last year's earnings6. I hope you can multi-task!" 儘管你拿到的薪水還是同樣的那份!
Bite off more than you can chew
如果你接受了太多的工作,你可能就不能正常的完成。"He's working late every night. He bit off more than he could chew."
