So I have to get a few references for the same job, because I was a contractor. My payroll was done by two separate companies during my contract, and I have a reference from the company where I was contracted to for confirmation of my duties/responsibilities.
Only problem is, my job was an Admin Assistant, but I don't think that was my actual job title. I just used that because it's what I was doing.
Apple One (the first recruitment agency) have my job title as Engineering Services Clerk.
Accenture (the second recruitment agency) have my job title as Level H (whatever the hell that means).
BC Hydro (the company I was contracted to) have my job title as Administrative Assistant (although that's because that's what I put it as).
I'm guessing this is a bit of an issue. Not sure what to do. I guess I should use the job title given by Apple One, because that's most likely to be the official title given by BCH in the first place, but I don't think it makes it clear what it was that I was actually doing. It sounds like an engineering job, which it wasn't. I was 100% an Admin Assistant, and my boss at BCH confirms this (i.e. when he signed off on my responsibilities).
I suspect that CIC might think its a bit peculiar that I have three references for one job, that all have different job titles.
Should I explain it in the cover letter? Or shall I see if Apple One will change the reference? Or just go with the 'official' job title, even though it's basically not indicative what I actually did?
