MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I work as part of a small communications (pr & marketing) team for a company that are slowly embracing our dark arts. Over the 3 years since I started, the job has changed dramatically, this means that my original job description no longer resembles what I actually do, so as a team we are all re writing our job specs, my line manager has to sign them off, but I was wondering if you guys had any advice?
When we shout that our wages are too low they occasionally have a look at them and try to compare them to comparative jobs in the market, so are there any words/phrases to include that will add value/devalue my job in those circumstances?
The designer has changed his job title from design and communications officer to design and digital media officer, mine is currently press and communications officer, although with a high percentage of my work being online I was thinking of adopting the digital media tag too, something along the lines of pr and digital media officer.
And their paying you to do this???!!! What a waste of the companies time. Anyway yeah your title sounds fine.
It's being done in work time, so in effect yes they are paying me to do this.
Do your firm use "competencies" (terrible HR speak not a real word but of illustrative value).
These can be a good source of key words to beef up your JD, even if you don't use them Google it and get hold of some. They come at different levels so pick the highest ones you can.
