I don't know much about hairdressing. You only have to look at my photo to realise I don't need much. My only tip would be to avoid puns. Your industry is full of them and they don't work! :) e.g. don't be the Hair Apparent. Funny titles. I don’t know much about hairdressing.

I'm in the process of coming up with a new title to reflect my new responsibilities, which focus on donor education and marketing and communications for a foundation that invests in women. What do you think of.... "Director of Philanthropic Experience" too dorky?? Maybe something around 'change' HELP Great article.

I hate any form that says "job description" and normally end up putting IT Consultant as if I put PTS Group Manager or Head of Technology for MidMarket I just know I'd either get weird looks or spend too long explaining to those oh so happy customs officials what that really means. I tend to end up saying "I do stuff" which usually gets a Roger Moore style eyebrow ;) Hi Matthew – this made me smile.
