You get entertained a little... and then you get some relief in the form of commercials. You hear a little bit about your topic. Why is It so Important to List Accomplishments on Resumes? Did you know, that television -- the persistent purveyor of
pop culture here in America -- shapes a LOT of your
prospects behavior patterns?Your accomplishments are what distinguish you from your competitors in the job-search process.

Obviously, the person who accomplishes the most “wins”.What exactly Here, listen to this: 1. The average US home has the TV on for 7 hours and 40 munites a day. In case you're wondering, that means by the time a child is 18 years old, they've already been exposed to 50,367.6 hours of television! Sheesh! 2. The average amount of television the average American watches, is over 4 hours a day. (that's 17% of your life, by-the-way) Likewise, this means the average American has actually watched over 26,280 hours of TV by the time they're already 18 years old. 3. 50% of all US households have 3 or more TV's in their house. 4.

(Gosh, I hope my daughter wasn't participating in that survey...) 6. 40% of all Americans watch TV while they're eating dinner. 7. And lastly, on average, sadly... parents only spend 38.5 minutes a week having a meaningful conversation with their children. No doubt then, television is a HUGE part of American life. In some cases, it's even more important than having a relationship with your children, for goodness sakes. You'd have to assume from reading through these statistics, that people are planning meal times around what's on TV... they're spending a good amount of brain-power trying to make sure "this" show gets taped or recorded at "that" particular time... and they're probably spending more energy watching David Letterman than making love.
