I often have great difficulty in explaining what I do as a job, I now just say I work in computers. How would you describe your job title and business? I'd like to see the words people use to describe what they do.
Can't help you there - you've stolen my own description. I work for a web hosting and internet security company. Most people (relatives & firends) simply don't understand what that job entails or what it is we actually do. I have tried to explain in the past but "working with computers" or "it's an internet (or online) business" is usually the easiest explanation.
All I know is my official title here at work is 'Client Services Manager' though when people ask what I do on the internet I tell them im involved in various online technology ventures
I manage my sites and used to do freelance work. So I can say that I am doing "Online Business" Or "Freelancing". Not sure if they count as job titles or not
I'm a system developer. Therefore, I develop systems I was a freelance before, but having trouble receiving payments because sometimes I can't fill up forms to receive money so I applied in a job
Much wider range of jobs going on here than even I imagined and I've imagined some weird things in my time. Guess I'm going to have to stick with working with computers. I used to work as a database developer at a large travel agents in the UK with ethics that would make satan blush. Anyhoo they used to bring in consultants at about 20x my salary to state the obvious, I always fancied being a consultant. I always stated the obvious but because my job title did not include consultant I was shut in a dark room with all the other computer geeks
Yes, it's important we do real man jobs - I make up for this by attempting DIY at home and doing gardening (digging big holes and stuff) At least they are recognising it as a job even if its not a proper one, I usually just get blank stares.
I'm a media planner. I gave up explaining what is that long time ago. I remember one training, where the reader said: "After this course, you'll be able to explain to your mom what is, exactly, your job". I still can't. I just say: "I work in marketing", although it's not clear either...
it is based on you which type of job you doing...i am doing work on my website as seo...so it related your work...
Haha, I remember trying to explain to my grandma what I did around 20 years ago - "I sell computer systems" I said, her reply "oh, what's a computer", my reply "well, do you know what a typewriter is?", "No" she said At that point I gave up!
lol...that sounds about right ..and people never understand what IM is...it takes too long to explain!
