Yes, now that I look back my 'titles' were created to justify the next pay grade/scale, and the job description has been edited along the way as well. The advantage is the more skills I learn, the more I had to my own job description, thus defining my role as a learning professional in the learning profession! Thanks Janet.

When I was developing competencies for a talent management enterprise system, I had to start with job descriptions. It was then that I realized that titles and description are a rube goldberg-like maze. Sometimes titles were created simply to justify a pay scale differences (I, II, Sr., Trainee, etc.) with little change in actual skills needed. It resulted in a lot of sighs. I guess we work in the learning profession so that makes us learning professionals (?) Job vs. career title – an important differentiator.
