Mikeli  +  216694 Mon, 17 Apr 06 04:46 AM I've met with a commonly used phrase "high liability and attribution" in some resume websites. This phrase is used to describe the traits of a person, and used without context. But I do not know the meaning of "attribution" in this phrase. Would anybody tell me what it means. Thank you in advance. Mikeli Joined on Wed, Jul 27 2005 China New Member 06 Resume

	Clive  +  216713 Mon, 17 Apr 06 06:24 AM Hi, "high liability and attribution" I have no idea what this would describe about a person. I think perhaps it was written by someone who does not speak English well. I wonder, for example, if they were thinking of the word 'reliability'? When you say someone is a 'liability', it is slang that means the person is useless. Anyway, I suggest that you shouldn't worry about it. If you are writing a resume, just use phrases about yourself that you understand. best wishes, Clive Clive Joined on Thu, Oct 28 2004 Canada Veteran Member 29,612 El tango argentino es un pensamiento triste que se puede bailar (The tango argentino is a sad thought which can be danced) Enrique Santos Discépolo Resume, Speak English

	nona the brit  +  216759 Mon, 17 Apr 06 09:29 AM Hi, doing a quick google has turned up a set of CVs from Chinese people using this phrase. In fact they are all pretty much repeating the same set of qualities:  "Good professional presentation skills. Team work spirit. High liability and Attribution. Able to work under great pressure. Nice Characters." So they are obviously all copying it from the same source regardless of the fact that 'Team Work Spirit' 'High liability and Attribution' and 'Nice Characters' are not correct English. I can work out what they mean by the other two but high liability and attribution is completely nonsensical. So if you are working on your own resume there's a good lesson for you here...don't go copying other people's efforts!   nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.
