Subject:Re: job title nomenclature on biz cards From:"Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 20 Aug 2004 11:44:29 -0700
However, in the current business climate, it is not unusual for CEOs to
have to personally sign off on every requisition or, most especially,
consulting contract (the fact that the original question was about
business cards rather than job descriptions means the discussion is
about getting contracts, doesn't it?). With the current emphasis on
"bang for the buck," anything that sounds remotely like a "new age
job description" or an individual contributor is likely to be of less
value on a business card. This was why my own thoughts on a
card were to stay away from "title" or "job description" and
concentrate on listing "services provided."
