Job Title

Often, when we fill out applications, forms, reports, or other “outside” paperwork, we are asked for the name of a contact person and that person’s job title. That got us thinking. Unless a sanctuary is huge and actually has one person on staff to fill each separate position, most rescue-type people have a long list of job titles. On any given day in rescue, one worker may be:

Triage nurse
ICU or on-call nurse
Dietician
Chef
Waiter
Housekeeper
Waste disposal engineer
Maintenance and Repair
Groundskeeper

Pest Contol Technician
Veterinary assistant
Dental assistant
Receptionist
Volunteer coordinator
Fundraiser
Record clerk
Bookkeeper
Dispute mediator
Public Relations Officer
Publicity Chairman
Purchasing Agent
Consultant
Behaviorist
Trainer
Teacher
Weather analyst
Budget specialist
Researcher
Data Entry clerk
Motivational Speaker
Cheerleader
And
All Around Trouble Shooter

I’ll wager there are that many more job titles we missed. But what a resumé, eh?
