RE: Fw: Job Titles

["Ron Hearn" <RHearn -at- cucbc -dot- com>]

On the other hand, my title is Documentation Specialist - I am not sure
if that limits my scope or not, but I suspects it does.

At a company I used to work for, I was Senior Documentation
Writer/Analyst. I agree that having Analyst in the title helps broaden
the scope of what your duties might include.

It's always a hard problem, especially when management want to show the
possibility of an upward path. I've been:
  Instructor
  Programmer
  "Hey, you!"
  Person who can type
  Technical writer
  Senior technical writer
  Principal technical writer
  Senior principal technical writer
  Lead technical writer
  Documentation engineer
  "Just what do you do around here?"
  Wrangler
  Groundskeeper

Others among us have had job titles equally as exciting, and I doubt any
of them will actually turn out to be what your new boss wants. I might
suggest Prestidigitator or Documentationalist as further possibilities.
Something with "Analyst" in the title might be good, but don't let them
abbreviate it.
