Need my Job Description?

Question

I am up for a promotion and want to know what average saleries run for my job. Everywhere I look I dont know what to choose as the job description. I manage a semi truck parts supply company and will be offered the general manager position over at least four stores of the same type. I cant find a close decription when trying to find a similar job title.

Answer 1

I would look at District Manager positions, both business to business and retail.

I'm usually pretty good at the title game, but your situation is unique.

Congratulations and good luck to you!

Answer 2

If you can't describe your job, how are we supposed to do it? We don't even know you or your job.

1) Mention how many people you supervise, including if you are in charge of hiring, promoting and reviewing and terminating them.
2) Mention how much money (budget) you are responsible for.
3) Mention who you report to directly and who reports to you (use position names, not personal name: for example, "district manager", not "John Jones".
4) Summarize the nature of your business and if it's publicly or privately held.
5) List tasks you do daily (brief summary).
6) List taks you do weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly.

Use the present tense for example: "Manages a staff of 7-10 employees. Oversees budget of 250K per year. Responsible for (blah balh blah, whatever you're responsible for). Reports directly to district manager." etc.
