What is your job title?
What is your job title?
Simple concept in the hopes of getting to know everyone a little better, and hopefully have an argument free thread. Just state your job title, and if you want to tell a little bit about what your job role entails and what your functions are within the job, go for it. Lets not discuss salaries though, as its not only rude, but also problematic in the long run. Please also refrain from any fictional job titles or attempts at being clever
I'll start out with my job title. I'm a Senior Claims Analyst for Cigna International. What this means in a nutshell is that I process medical, dental, and vision claims for high profile executives who work over seas as expatriates. These claims can literally come from any country in the world and be in any language. We also handle a small amount of domestic claims that occur here in the US as a result of expatriate member's having family left behind in the states. I personally specialize in the domestic side of the business because I have a long background with Cigna's domestic side prior to signing on with the International division.

I'm a pastor of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. I serve a dual parish (2 congregations): Zion Lutheran Church of Hurley, South Dakota, and First English Lutheran Church of Centerville, South Dakota. Centerville (where we live) is a town of 910 people, and Hurley has 425. Quite rural.

Officially, my title is 'Finance Team Leader'. I run four self-contained Cashier units out of three Jobcentre Plus sites, having responsibility for five staff, although I might be getting a sixth soon. My main job involves moving between the three every day to ensure it all flows smoothly and doing endless, repetitive, but essential security-based checks!
Additional jobs landing in my lap include Crisis Loans Local Decision Maker, Jobseekers' Allowance Hardship Decision Maker and expert support/tuition for several computer software systems (heh, even if no one can ever be an expert for RM). I represent my home office at the District People Group and my District at the Regional People Group - think implementation of otherwise distant HR policy decisions. I also have the glorified title 'Premises Manger' for one of the offices, which means I get to sort out furniture/staff moves, storage and broken loos...
My badge has only my name on it, no job title, for a very good reason!

Duty Manager (News). Seriously, officially it has brackets in it - why not News Duty Manager or Duty News Manager? It largely involves making sure any good stuff mounted on the covers of magazines doesn't get to the public, plus a lot of smoking and paperwork. I don't think I've put any stock out since... 2006?

I am a glorified Librarian over at Books A Million. I keep track of books, sell books, and recommend books. I guess if my job was similar to anything at times, a Jedi Librarian or a Space Marine Librarian? People say they can imagine me in flowing robes and with a lightsaber directing people to where they need to go. And i also have to deal with people and their want to bring in their pets, if someone brings in a chicken, I swear, I will ask if that is a seeing eye chicken...

Is the place you work actually big enough to need duty managers for each individual section of the shop? I'd got it into my head you worked in a former One Stop but even the honking big supermarket I work in doesn't have a manager for the magazing/paper section.
I'm a deeply dull sounding "General Assistant". They like to keep it nice and vague so you can be asked to do any job whatsoever without being able to complain.

I actually have used Transformers as an illustration once or twice, but just a passing reference. A friend says that if I bring one into the pulpit for an object lesson, it'll just turn into me playing with toys for 15 minutes then trying to write off my entire collection on my taxes.

No one seems to be able to decide whether it's Java Developer or CRM Developer. Probably the second is more accurate. Basically I develop and maintain the software system for a local government Customer Service Centre.

Depending on which piece of paper you go by, I'm either a Data Analyst or a Data/Database Programmer. The actual job is a fair bit of both. I work for a public opinion research company and I suppose you could say I'm their main web survey programmer. We're a small enough company that I end up doing a lot of work programming phone surveys as well though (much to my chagrin, as the most well-laid plan falls apart immediately when you let the shaved gorillas we hire as interviewers near it) and sorting through the back-end data from those projects to put into a useful format for our research managers. Because of my experience as a programmer I also spend a lot of time programming small applications (mainly to automate the tedious tasks I sometimes have to do) and helping out our IT department (hilariously, I found out yesterday that the head of our IT department knows a lot about TFs and thinks highly of the Archive), mostly with programming tasks and testing software we're interested in using.

I'm a cleaner at the school next to my 6th form but all my ID card says is
Sean Brattan, STAFF (yup in capitals)
My job basically involves cleaning 3 rooms in the school and isnt that interesting, I work for 2 hours 5 days a week, but during the easter and summer holidays I work for 5 hours 4 days a week and do f**k all. Its also a job you can do while hung over quite comfortably.
