Subject:Finding a good job title From:David Neeley <dbneeley -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 31 Jan 2001 20:58:41 -0800 (PST)
An anonymous contributor asked about a job title for
someone who had a long list of duties.
In many places I have worked, since I'm not afraid to
step up and take on another assignment, I'd answer
"Me!" I don't think that's what you want.
Other places, it might clearly be "Boss!" I guess
that's not it, either.
Seriously, with all those tasks including mentoring,
editing, tools selection and maintenance, and the
like, the following might do:
* Associate Director of Publications
* Editor
* Production Director
* Publisher
I can't help but think this job would fit nicely in
what a Navy veteran friend of mine refers to as "SLJO"
(S****y Little Jobs Officer).
Other terms that spring to mind might include
"Underpaid"!
Regards,
David
