Tips for Choosing the Right Title on Your Resume

1

Match the target company's language

If you are applying to a big tech company, use their title conventions (e.g., "Software Engineer II" instead of "Application Developer"). Scan their job postings for clues.

2

Use the most recognizable title

If your actual title is obscure (e.g., "Digital Solutions Ninja"), translate it to the industry-standard equivalent. Recruiters search for common titles.

3

Don't inflate your seniority

Translating titles is about clarity, not embellishment. If you were a coordinator, don't list yourself as a manager. Interviewers will uncover discrepancies.

4

Add context in parentheses when helpful

If your title was unique, clarify it: "Technology Consultant (equivalent to Senior Software Engineer)". This helps ATS systems and human readers.

5

Consider the ATS implications

Applicant tracking systems scan for exact keyword matches. Using the same title as the job posting increases your chances of getting past the first filter.
