As we prepare for the real-world, post-graduate school, let us take a minute to wonder why it is so difficult to understand job titles. Take this one I ran across today.
Academic Analyst.
The advertisement stated to pick up a copy of the job description from the local school board office.
Umm... ok. That's great. But maybe could I get just a smidge of an idea of what this job is? Because in the world of education, that is a very vague job title.
Did you know that when I Googled that position just as it was written, seven different job titles were pulled up on page 1 of Google. Seven. Sette. Siete. I don't know any other languages but that's just crazy.
Why do we make it so difficult for potential candidates looking for positions? Can there not be a universal language for job titles.. a singular bank of terms we pull from with a limited combination? Is that too much to ask? Am I still on a sleep-deprived, energy-drink-fueled rant? Does this bother literally anyone else on the planet or am I the only one being sensitive to the subject? Bueller? Bueller?
Anyways, seeing as how I wasn't job hunting today and just happened to run across it, I haven't gotten my answers. So, sorry for anyone that reads this and is looking for a resolution, because you won't find that here. Unfortunately, I gotta leave you on a cliffhanger, kind of like
