cv job title help

[richtvr]

Hi guys my step daughter has just returned from doing a 3 month campus job in America and we need to update her cv to suit.
She was a camp assistance, any ideas of a better sounding title for her cv?

Cheers
Rich

Does sound a bit Larry Grayson doesn't it.

Try

Activities Co Ordinator
Residential Assitantant
Camp America Assistant

Seasonal Youth Worker?

Call it what it is. Outsourced parent.

Seriously, it doesn't need another title, though some US camps call them Camp Counsellors.

Just expand on the responsibilities below the title.

[NDA]

Leisure Engineer
Youth Event Coordinator

When an agency or an employer reads it - they need to understand what it means. ( without asking )

Find a title that explains accurately what she was doing ( even if it was not the exact title of the job )

(American organisations seem to love really complicated job titles )

Bear in mind that companies do check this stuff from time to time, so don't go overboard.

Title as is will be fine. What's important for her CV is what difference she made. Good luck!

If her title was "Children's education centre nourishment consultant" - she'd be better of putting "Dinnerlady".
No need to guild the lily.
