What Kind of SEO Person Are You?
I spent some time this evening looking through several job boards for SEO jobs just to see what was out there and if there might be something that I could do. Wow! Was I suprised at the many different names SEO professionals go by. I clicked on a few of them and I think I would qualify for more than one. Some of the more established “old school” companies still want that piece of paper that says you graduated college, but the younger businesses seemed to care more about what you could do.
So now I need to figure out just exactly what I am in the world of SEO. Am I an:
- SEO Analyst
- SEO Strategist
- SEO Specialist
- SEO Manager
- Director of SEO
- SEO Technician
- Plain old SEO
I suppose I could word my resume to fit any one of these categories but in the end it would be my history of SEO work that would speak for me. I suppose if I had to pick one and zero in on it, it would be SEO Specialist. That term seems to be the one that covers it all.
So, what kind of SEO person are you???
I’d have to agree with you on the SEO Specialists. I am trying to think of what the best name to call myself. I am not so much of an SEO but more of an SEM guy. So SEM Specialists or SEM Professional works. SEO Technician makes me think of some kind of fancy name for an auto mechanic.
