Do You Search for Alternate Job Titles

Do You Search for Alternate Job Titles When you look for job postings, do you look for alternate (or what Ive referred to as adjacent) job titles? You should.  Heres a post from job board watchdog Chris Russell: Indeeds own job descriptions offer glimpse into keyword strategy. Its not hard for an employer to put alternate titles into a job posting but Im guessing they dont because (a) they havent thought of it, or (b) they are worried about the implications of someone applying to a job and wanting one of the alternate titles.  Who knows. Heres what I do know: when you go a little beyond the titles you think you want, you just might learn about titles that you didnt know about.  That was the case for me, 10 years ago, when I searched for project manager jobs, and I came across the perfect title for me: product manager.  I honestly had never heard of it before, even though I was already doing product manager tasks. Expand your search a bit and be open to other titles.
