Titles

So many people live and die by titles or job titles. Once upon a time a job title totally defined the duties and expectations. Today job titles vary as much as there are jobs. It is so easy to tailor the title to fit any and every position and they are. They are helpful sometimes as reference points but don't totally rely on the title itself.

If you want to use a title then why not make your own and define it. Don't be a slave to titles as you may miss the best opportunities when you needn't. A title is designed to be a snapshot of what you do or what is required. Pretty hard to engulf everything we do and any position.

Companies only need to change a few duties and a name title to make your old one obsolete.
