I need a job title for my resume

[Skoop]

I work at a newspaper.
My job description is i recive ads from ad agencys and individuals, fix them if neccisary and give advices on the PDF/postscript settings.
Design ads when i feel like it since i wasnt hired for that.
Color correcting photos.
check ad pages in CCI (newspaper editorial system)

I have no idea what my job title should be.
any ideas ? i would probably just translate the english version directly to my language

Advertising Production Controller. But due to the above statement I would just put 'Digital Jobsworth'.

I can't stand people saying 'It's not my job!'. You weren't hired to surf the internet either but hey, you don't seem to have a problem with that!

Well it isn?t my job, i am not getting paid for that, why should i bother with extra work if i don?t feel like doing it ?
And i don?t have a problem with designing ads, i fill in when it is needed, what i meant by this statement that i design ads when i feel like it is i grab an occasional ad and creatite it because i am bored not because i there is so much work left and not because i don?t like to.
Often they are ads sceduled to publish later in the month.

Uh...my brain "Libido" is really really struggling right now but...

Isn't this supposed to be "The Lounge"? A place for non-prepress issues to be discussed?

Isn't a resume for prepress a prepress issue?

Dunno....it hurts my brain to think about it.....

Well, if i would have posted "i work at McDonalds" i need a job title for my resume this would belong in the lounge so just replace the "newspaper" part for McDonalds :wink:

I must admit , i gave it a little thought before posting this.
The job is prepress related but the subject of the thread is not neccisarily prepress related since i could have been asking for a job title of another job.
But then i must think about the fact that this is a prepress forum and i am posting a job title for a prepress job in a lounge were prepress threads should not be.
Wich in turn brings out the ...... fudge it i am confused now :?

[pspdfppd]

Well now....

From one prepress worker to another....

If a prepress worker wants to come into a prepress forum and go into the lounge for prepress workers to discuss non-prepress related topics and decides to discuss their prepress job and how it relates to a prepress job title seeking advice from other prepress workers...

Then who am I to argue.

Night, night...it's bedtime herel

And your language is?

I think at one time or another we've all done what you're doing, and the last time I ever heard someone give it a title I was unrepeatable. Depending on how much time you have invested you could be anything from an Apprentice "fill in blank here" to a journyman "again" or when you think your ready to retire "approaching craftsmen".
But being realistic and having been there like you are now, what I always use is "Lithographer"

Well, that?s impossible to translate i think, my language is icelandic.
I guess i?l just settle with "employ in a newspaper "
