Warning….rant ahead.

I just can’t hold it in any longer.

I am sick of all these stupid job titles.

Web 2.0 has brought a lot jobs, but with them has come the silliness.

Chief Innovation Experience Design Officer

Vice President of Interface Evangelism

Chief Evangelist

Chief Blogging Officer

What the heck?

Yes, when there’s a new job you have to create a title that fits, but some of these titles are taking it a little too far.

I’m all for creativity but there’s a hint of self importance that irks me. And sometimes it’s just plain silly.

What if you have to go back to work at a more traditional firm. What are you going to put on your resume? Good luck trying to network with some Corporate America Head Honcho when your job title sounds just as ridiculous as President of Donut Consumption.

What do you think about these web 2.0 job titles? Do you have one yourself?

Every business owner has an area that they struggle in.

For me, it’s networking.

Over time I’ve found that a lot of people are only in it for themselves and they’ll suck you dry if you let them.

Someone clued me in that perhaps my problem was that I was seeking out the wrong type of people. To quote, “you need to be around people who are on your level.”

Hmm, I’m going to try that for 2009. I’m looking to connect with like-minded business women. Are you one of them? Drop me a line.

I’ve already got a great start by connecting with Natalie MacNeil of She Takes On The World.

She’s a great lady and we have a lot in common.

Check out this interview with me that she conducted.
