  1. Office aid for coucilman ______
    Research asst. for Black…

    For a cashier’s job all they’re going to do is make sure you worked there. I wouldn’t worry about it. What’s the worst that can happen, they find out you’re really intelligent and then don’t hire you?

  2. “How do you dumb down attorney, general counsel to a telecom firm, executive policy aide to a city councilman, Assistant Director of Research for Black Women’s History, etc?”

    Attorney, general counsel to a telecom firm = Administrative asst. to…

    executive policy aide to a city councilman = Adminstrative asst. to…

    Assistant Director of Research for Black Women’s History = Administrative asst. to…

    LIE! And call one person to give you a ref., and ask them to LIE!

    I have the same problem Snappy, I can’t tell you what to do other than to LIE.

    I’ll bring the whine/wine to the pity party! ; )

  3. “Snappy, can you ‘dumb’ those good jobs down?”

    Snappy, if you really need to dumb it down significantly, I’ll give you a description of what I do here each day at the Death Star for you to copy and paste.

  4. How do you dumb down attorney, general counsel to a telecom firm, executive policy aide to a city councilman, Assistant Director of Research for Black Women’s History, etc? I’m at a loss!

  5. Snappy, I can heartily relate. I’ve been doing the same thing for the last 20 years (production manager) and can’t get anyone to see beyond the job title in other fields. Since I’ve always worked for small companies where I had to multitask, I’ve been an office manager, a secretary, the pr department, the hr department, a personal assistant, the shipping manager, the actual shipper, the go-fer, the chauffeur, and the therapist. None of that has anything to do with the technical aspects of getting a line of products from the design pad to on the shelves.

    You’d think out of all that, I could find a job, but I get no replies from any of the people I send resumes to. It’s very depressing. We should have a pity party with Cobblehiller and bxgrl.
