My job requires a talent to both multi-task (in an emergency situation) as well as focus (such as when dealing with individuals).

Effective use of this concept requires someone who can focus on multiple events and be able to be a success at each one independently. Not everyone has that ability. There should never be a knock on someone who cannot.

As the parent of a daughter with ADHD (albeit she is in her early 20s now) I can relate to the problems one faces when dealing with someone who is ADHD. Focused attention or toggling or multi-tasking is a specific art for each individual. To require someone to have this concept at the core of their life only hurts any prospective employer and I have little time for someone who is so narrow minded.

I guess that is why "69" does not work well for me!!!!
