I know the wording is extremely important with regards to what I can actually do/have experience of.
But how much can you alter your job title?
For example, I'm currently a Medical Secretary but if you look at my job description and skills, you'd think I was a PA in my current role. I work for two consultants but I'm not 'called' a PA.
Could I word my CV as Medical PA or Medical Secretary/PA?
I'm left unsure. Mainly because of references, if they go to my previous manager, they'll ask for a reference for Tracey Thomas, Medical 'PA'.
What if someone comes back and corrects them of my title?
Disclaimer: My name isn't Tracey Thomas. I've just always wanted to be called Tracey
