Insomniator, you have mentioned that the job title matters little. I have to disagree with you. Your job title does matter, especially when talking about the Social media representation. LinkedIn is a great resource for recruiters and your future employers. I work for a staffing company with a 20+ years of experience on the job market and assure you that you have to be very specific about your position. While reaching for candidates, recruiters use specific search strings. Whether your LinkedIn profile appears in their search or not is determined by what you put in your professional headline. “IT Consultant” is a very general term that finds its place in contract templates between staffing companies and their clients. To present yourself as an experienced professional and to keep growing your career, you need to be specific about the positions you held. Another recommendation for developing your LinkedIn profile or resume is to connect duties with measurable achievements. Do not simply list the job tasks as they are listed in your job description; instead, explain how your performance of these tasks impacted the organization’s structure, profit, goals, etc. This will show your next employer the value you can bring and results you can achieve. Hope this helps!
