02 br
00 Firstly, I'm not sure if I should post this one in vocabulary or in grammar, so my apologies if I posted in the wrong forum. 02 br
02 br
00 I am looking to say in my personal profile (CV) that thanks to my proactive attitude, I have been given more and more responsibilities as time goes... But I have a small dilemna regarding the appropriate phrasing to use... 02 br
02 br
00 Should I say: 02 br
01 b 00 In addition, my proactive attitude allowed me to take responsibilities and to develop my organisational and team working skills. 02 b 02 br
00 or 02 br
01 b 00 In addition, my proactive attitude allowed me to take on new responsibilities and to develop my organisational and team working skills. 02 b 02 br
02 br
00 Both sounds ok in my French mind but I do believe that the first one is correct. 02 br
00 So which one do you reckon I should you? Or should I use another sentence? 02 br
02 br
00 Thanks in advance for your help. 02 br

02 br 00 So which one do you reckon I should you? 02 br 02 br 01 font 00 The normal verb form for responsibilities in such a context is 'take 01 i 00 on' 02 i 00 . 02 font 02 br 02 br 01 font 00 In addition, I would say 'new', because 'new' implies that you already had some responsibilities before you took on the 'new' ones.
