Many a time I have met friends and elderly relatives who have asked me what I do for a living. I have time and again struggled, albeit unsuccessfully, to explain my job profile. I am not part of the IT crowd; not a journalist; not a call center employee; not part of the BPO sector. I work as an editor in an e-learning firm.
Attempting to explain my job profile, it appears, is an uphill task. Am sure quite a lot of us have suffered similarly. Here's a sample I picked from the Net which you can probably use to explain your job profile to friends and relatives:
1. Project Manager is a one who thinks nine women can deliver a baby in one month.
2. Process Developer is a one who thinks it will take 18 months to deliver a baby.
3. On site Coordinator is one who thinks single woman can deliver nine babies in one month.
4. Client is the one who doesn’t know why he or she wants a baby or what to do with it.
5. Marketing Manager is one who thinks he can deliver a baby even if no man and woman are available.
6. Resource Optimization Team thinks they don’t need a man or woman; they will produce a child with zero resources.
7. Documentation Team thinks they don’t care whether the child is delivered; they will just document nine months.
8. Quality Auditor is the one who is never happy with the process to produce a baby.
9. Editor is one who wonders why so much mess was created during the entire process. *
10. Instructional designer is one who is left thinking what went wrong - the process or the end product.
* This happens to my job.
