Is it fair to tweak Job titles in CV to match that of role applying..??

This means downgrading titles of some of my roles to match that of job in question.

Concern is some of my CVs my last role will be 'Programme Test Manager' (correct one) and downgraded one will shows as 'Test Manager' to match that role.

If it's a contract role, put what you like within reason would be my approach. Make sure it matched LinkedIn. I tend now to take on contracts which are based around delivering pieces of work without a 'role title' and then afterwards I fit a suitable description around it. My current client, for internal purposes, labels me as 'Senior Project Manager' even though I'm not project managing anything. They've asked be to put this on my email signature but I've ignored it and just put the Programme I am working in without a title.

Tell us what the difference is between a "program test manager" and a "test manager", in your opinion.

Also, if you change the title, you need to change the 1 or two lines of description of the role underneath as well.

And one last thing, you need to "downgrade" your ego.
