Job titles in Linkedin updates

Depends on how seriously you take LinkedIn MitchOriginally posted by Mich the Tester View PostJust looking at my Linkedin homepage and I see some of the wondrously important people in my network;
'Rob *******, Manager Information Management Technology and HQ at BloggsCo, Walter ****, Manager Information and Application Management Corporate Banking at *** Bank'
'C. ****** is now connected to E. ****, Innovation Manager, Enterprise Architect and Program Manager at BigCo' (obviously a busy chap)
I feel truly honoured to know such people; people who are so important that they have long job titles that include the word 'Manager' TWICE!
Should I now update my job title? At the moment it's 'Tester'; I'm inclined to call myself 'General Dogsbody' but that could be construed as taking the piss. Suggestions?
Mine is full of 'test mangler', 'project mangler' and general dogsbody titles. I don't take it seriously though, in fact, I don't take much seriously
Still looking for testers in West Yorks though, if you fancy a bit of Community Service

As for West Yorkshire; I'll find other ways of wasting my life.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

You can't beat the yanks when it comes to job titles. The one I saw was on a sticker on a free newspaper in the foyer of the hotel I was staying in
Vice president of housekeeping services, Courtyard Marriot, Cary
So that''s the second in charge of housekeeping services (cleaner) in a small hotel in the middle of nowhere in north CariolinaRule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment
