How frowned upon is it to change your job title on a resume? My job title is what I was brought in to do 3 years or so ago but because of layoffs and such I only do said job around 10% of the time now. I haven't "officially" switched positions during that time and my title has remained the same but its really not what I do and haven't done so for over a year and a half now. Thoughts? (probably not a big deal, but this is my first job out of college so its top of my resume which I'm blasting out pretty regularly now)
alright fine that one can slip through but business jargon is still dumb. I also really hate how the words "brand" and "content" are the end-all, be-all.
Also, my department is about to change names, do I just change the current job entry on my cv? Or make a new entry? People are doing both.

Job responsibilities and title the same? Just update the name. The more years in a position, the better.

I am only 3 months into the job, so this seems unlikely to make a difference, but it is my inclination rather than making it seem like I jumped jobs after less than six months
Signed my offer letter this morning!
Now I'm #nervous about submitting my notice. Ideally I wanted like 3 weeks to a month before starting the new gig, but if I start on or before July 1 am eligible for a bonus of up to 15%, so I'd be dumb to pass that up. We have a major project launch tomorrow that's been 3 years in the making, so ideally I'd give notice on Wed, but puts me a little too close to the 1st to quit here and get down to Asheville. Should I just bite the bullet and do it today? The timing here is awful, but I gotta do it sooner than later.
I was worried about the same thing. Back 6 months ago, before I officially started looking, I approached my supervisor and their supervisor and asked if they'd be willing to let me put them down as a professional reference if I needed one. They both agreed.
When I applied for the job that I just got, I put "references available upon request" on the application. After the first interview, they called and asked for my references, which I gave them but asked they not contact them until I had a chance to speak with them. I told the references that I had a successful 1st interview and that they may be contacted. That process worked out very well.
