Job title does matter?
“What is your job?” - this is the almighty question that people always throws to me. The freelance designer answer won’t satisfy them. If I tell them I earn money through blogging, they will just laugh. Either they think it is mission impossible (I am crazy) or it has no future (I am stupid). Excuse me, I’m a smart woman and I won’t do something that has no benefit for me. I will jump into futures broker if it does has a wow-ing benefit.
These people are weird. When I told them I was working in a company as a designer with such a low salary, they didn’t mind. But when I told them I work at home as a freelance designer, they seems to be mind. As if freelance is not a real work or not for long term. Which bring me to the thought, is it the job title that matters?
Hey, a job title is just a name that determines somebody’s position in the company. Someone, whose job is offering illegal unsecured loans at high interest rates to individuals, is called a loan shark a.k.a Ah Long. In a better words, loan shark can also be called as Finance Manager. (refer to the dialogs in Like Father Like Daughter - Singapore drama). But the job scope is just the same.
Ah whatever la. I’m happy with my WAH (Work At Home) status. 
Freelance is still running slow in Asia, nowadays “Freelance” is actually a profession on the western though
Don’t worry, let’s register a company and when people ask again tell them “I own a small company now, working at home through internet only” Sound better eh?
wong,
that sounds much better.
Job title is important - to outsiders, but not within the company.
Today salespersons are all known as marketing executives. My ex-colleague was basically a sales manager, but his title was Vice President.
“Ah whatever la. I’m happy with my WAH (Work At Home) status.” << this is the right attitude i’d say. why care about what people think. as long as u enjoy what ur doing and feel happy with it, nothing else matters.
