Hello everyone,

I recently earned a Master's degree in Applied History and I'm updating my
resume. I held a graduate assistantship in a small museum at my university.
My main duties were describing and cataloging objects in PastPerfect,
writing text for exhibit labels, maintaining the museum's website, and
assisting with the museum store (mostly processing online orders). I did
other things, as well. For example, I researched and recommended some new
books for our library collection. I essentially served as the museum's
computer support specialist, since I was the most tech savvy staff member
and others came to me when they were having computer issues. Furthermore, I
was usually the person who changed light bulbs in the gallery when needed.

Here's the problem I'm having: The university's official job title for this
assistantship is simply "Administrative Support / Other." For obvious
reasons, I don't want to put that on my resume. However, I'm not quite sure
what a proper job title would be. Does anyone have any suggestions based on
what I outlined above?

Thanks in advance,
Derrick D. Little
