Can you help me think of a good job title for what I do?

Question

Okay, basically, I work in an office, posting apartment ads online on sites such as craigslist.org for an apartment management company, basically what you'd see in the newspaper but with a lot more detail, pictures, etc. And I post a lot of ads a day, around 40 or 50. But, for the life of me, I can't think of a good job title. I'm going along the lines of 'Online Advertisement ______' but I can't find a word for that blank that fits. Poster sounds dull and Specialist is a bit much, as my job really isn't that hard or complicated. I'm updating my resume, but I'm stuck here. Job duties are easy to describe, but the title is whats giving me trouble. Any ideas would be great. Remember, I want it to sound good, but not over-glorify the position and make it seem like my job is more important than it is. Thanks for the help!

P.S. And yes, I've tried a thesaurus with no luck lol.

Answer 1

I would say you have some great suggestions - but it would depend on what you are using it for. The correct answer is dependent on where you want to go. If you are applying to journalism school - go with Copywriter. If you are apply for an office job Clerk would be the way to go.

Words can carry different values - while having a similar meaning: None of the following is hard & fast rules - it is just intangible tendencies -

Agent - slanted towards sales
Clerk - leaning toward a general office person
Technician - more about the technical aspects (duh)
Specialist - I agree that this is highly over used, but that also makes it "normal"

"Marketing" is more towards the sales end than "Advertising" and "Promotion/Promoting" is different still.

"Real Estate" is higher prestige than "Rental"

"Online" is more technical inclined than "Internet" - I would use "Online" with a company that was fairly tech-savvy and "Internet" with a strictly off-line kind of place.

My personal favorites -
Online Copywriter (writing)
Online Advertising Agent (sales)
Rental Marketing Clerk (creative/office)

Answer 2

How about On-line Marketing Agent and in the job description you will indicate this was primarily for rental properties. An agent isn't particularly glamorous and if you use the term marketing it lets the reviewer know you realize what you were doing was marketing. Specific marketing but marketing none the less. Did the company give you a title? If so it might be wise to use it rather than create something new. Good luck with the job search.

Answer 5

A lot people have helped with titles but I just say not to understate what you do. You said that you didn't want to use specialist because you think its too much. I disagree. One thing I know for sure is you have to talk yourself up because no one else will. I'm not saying that you should lie but there are all kinds of amazing sounding titles for jobs that are easy. Just remember it maybe easy for you but not for someone else!

No need to mention Real Estate as you are already working for a company that deals in Real Estate it is redundant to put Real Estate Marketing Etc.

I only put Director on My cards.

Answer 9

I think specialist would be just fine for what you do. Also might consider consultant, analyst, technician, etc.

When it comes down to it though, the title isn't that important as long as you include a good description of the job duties.

Answer 10
