I did not hear anyone mention Data Masseuse...EDI Evangelist..or even my favorite title Data Whore...
Sorry Benjamin, got snow in the south tonight and the normal 15 minute commute turned into 170 minute commute. Time for a libation......remember it is always better to be evaluated by someone else than to evaluate yourself to show your own worth.

Obviously, I know what my job title is and I know what my job duties are, but I'm not 100% sure that my job title is appropriate for all the duties I am responsible for. My thought (crazy hope) is that if I can argue that my job duties warrant a more accurate [higher] job description, I might be able to argue a better pay rate, too :-) My current job title is "EDI Coordinator" and I work in an EDI department of one (albeit not without some help), in a medium-sized retail company. I handle just about all aspects of the EDI process for my company, including any map changes, development projects, trading partner testing, and data issue troubleshooting/resolution. I am about 80% responsible for all server administration over our hardware. I have heard the following job titles used to describe colleagues working in this industry, but I'm not sure what the hierarchy is: analyst, coordinator, manager, specialist, administrator. I'm guessing there are also others. I've always felt that a "manager" manages "people" and not "things", so I wouldn't consider myself an "EDI Manager". I also wouldn't feel that I'm an "EDI Administrator" until I am 100% responsible for every EDI aspect in my company. Of the remaining (and also unknown) job titles, I'm not sure which is "more advanced" than the others. I have checked a few websites for job descriptions, but without being able to find one that has all job titles listed, it is difficult to see how they rank amongst one another. Is there an agency or site that would have such information? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ ...
