Shit's all sorts of different now.

Say one is updating their resume for no particular reason whatsoever.

Say one is looking to get into a more administrative position as opposed to another boring ass, dumb accounting position.

Should one still use the CFO title on their resume or willi t scare potential, hypothetical employers?

Trust my rage

willi t scare potential, hypothetical employers?

I think this. *Unless* you make it obvious that you were working with a very small firm, which could have real advantages because it shows that you are both technically skilled and able to work with real independance

What Stephanie said, Aimee. Leave the title, but explain/expand in the cover letter about the job and the firm.

Yes, you can use your cover letter to explain that you were responsible for financial operations in a small firm, but wish to transfer your skills. I'd concentrate on admin work in financial firms, because they will appreciate that you can speak their language. Just be careful to delinate your duties/expectations, otherwise someone might claim that they're hiring an admin, but really want you to do accountant work for admin pay :) t /cynic

It is the adult thing to say, "You know, Boss. I like you, I like working for you and you have been great these past 7 months. But I just don't think that I am doing you any good and I don't know what else I could do to make things better. I think that before my work gets bad and you have to make a decision you might not want to that I should say you need to find a new person." right?
