    Job titles in Linkedin updates

    Just 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?

      Excellent.

      Why do people need 'management' and 'manager' in their job titles? Is it some kind of small dick syndrome?

        Same here "project management consultant", the trick with the LI profile is to have a title that gets you picked up in searches, people tend to forget that.

            How about a slight abbreviation: Teste.
