Posted: Fri May 05, 2006 9:59 pm Post subject: Job Position for your own business
Hi there,
I plan to set up a business which sells software that I develop myself. To advertise my business, the basic things is for me to print my own name card that I could distribute it.
The problem I face now is what position name I should put in the name card? (like Chief Executive Officer, CEO and etc)
Being a one-man-show in my business, it is kinda difficult to put a position for myself. I am the programmer, the sales person, the account officer and etc!! Or I just leave it blank, without putting any position.
Please advice.
p/s: Maybe can give your position you gave yourself for your own business. Just for reference purposes

It depends who I am communicating with.
If it's with an American, I go for CEO or CTO. If it's in the UK, I go for the generic 'Director', or 'Executive Director'. Essentially I try to go for something that is not particularly descriptive, but carries the message that I am positioned to make decisions.
There are exceptions of course: if I am discussing techie, say regarding hosting, perhaps I might change to something more specific, but usually, a generic title serves its purpose.

I would just go with "Owner" or "President". That implies management as well as control over the company's policies and work flow. _________________ Aaron M. Potts

Thanks guys for all your suggestion.
aaronmp2003, I think it is a weird to put such a name as "Onwner" or "President" though it really implies management and decision maker.
But I rather prefer Netlyte suggestion that is to put something like "Founder" then your own position. Which sound professional and attractive as well!
Anyway, thanks for all the suggestion and if anyone of you have better ideas, or you face this problem before, share with us what you put for your own position in your own company. Thanks a lot
