00 For my first post I would like to know if there is a 01 b 00 real 02 b 00 01 b 00 difference betwwen "to be in charge of doing sth" and "to be responsible for doing sth" 02 b 00 . 02 br
02 br
00 I checked if this question has already been asked earlier but it doesn't seem to. 02 br
02 br
00 For me it sounds like if "to be responsible for doing sth" = having a 01 u 00 duty 02 u 00 to be in charge of doing sth; as if there is a notion of 01 u 00 personal obligation. 02 u 02 br
02 br
00 I ask this because I'm writting my resume and sometimes I hesitate between putting "to be responsible for doing" and "to be in charge of doing" when describing the tasks I carried out during my previous work experiences. 01 b 05 1 02 b 02 br
02 br
00 What do you think about this? 01 b 05 2 02 b 02 br

00 Just because you were responsible to do it, does not mean you did it Just because you were in charge of it does not mean you manged it well. 02 br

00 In a resume you want to use strong sentence

Thank you all for your helpful comments. I have to update my resume in English, and as I am not a native speaker, it was really helpful and interesting to read these posts.
