Forum Moderators: open
In attendance will be Brett Tabke (CEO), Neil Marshall (Director of Forum operations)
So Neil is a DOF? Or even a DOFO?

Someday you might be unfortunate enough to hear my version (abject apologies to Monty Python) of "I'm a lumberjack..."
There's a rather fmaous German company specializing in Flash animations. They call themselves "Powerflasher" :-)
Hmm, mind you, that would also apply to the title 'New Integration Specialist'. Unless, of course, one had just started doing the job - in which case one could be considered 'new' to it...
About a hundred years ago (well, circa 1998/9), the Copenhagen Institute of Technology came up with the following as job titles for the future...
A couple of years later, the following job titles were actually found to exist, mainly in and around Silicon Valley:
I'm still waiting to find anyone who can describe themselves as:

Syzygy

I thought that would be where "Junior" comes in?
Visualiser
Just look at the end credits of any recent movie. Usually they write themselves with a "z" though.
Storyteller
Also not uncommon in Hollywood. They even have "Script Doctors".
Ego Enhancement Consultant
Sounds like me! However one asks oneself whose ego is meant...

Vizualizer?

Dream Broker
Most agencies had their own in house ..but some used freelancers aswell ..frequently for meetings with clients to "explain ideas or take client input ..and then try to talk the client out of their pet ideas ;)"
Come to think of it was also an "imagineer" for awhile at the florida park ..getting old ..losing track ..
for awhile at the florida park
Those theme parks are good for dressing up a title. I was an Ecological Specialist when I worked at one. They felt that the original title of Litter Getter was too demeaning.
Legal Research Analyst
The fancy job title didn't help much. I still felt like a public defender.
God I love titles...
Concrete vibrator operator
(puts a vibrating probe into fresh poured concrete to remove air bubbles)
For some of the star trek shows:
Technobabble Writer
My current real title is "Senior Web Developer". It changes every few months ;)
They don't even bother printing business cards for me anymore
sorry, it seems like someone missed the joke
OK potty fingers, did they all attend Sam Houston Institute of Technology?
Actually I choose not to have one, or a cell phone!
I simply have the job title of "rain maker" or "traffic cop"
If you want to contact me it will be by appointment only. And on my terms!
I don't need a job title, my wife says it should be "expensive lay-about".....well okay.....but, what does it really matter?
My view is simple, make money or get out of this game. Justifying your ability isn't really necessary as the good clients will find you, you don't need to seek them!

What about getting some with "Insert Title Here" or even better, with "{current_title}" on them?
@percentages: Am I right in thinking that you live outside the corporate world?
Just sounds kind of odd when you say it out loud...
ZA :-)
