Yeah but Red Five is the one who gets to destroy the Death Star.
He said, "Boy I'm just old and lonely,
But thank you for your concern,
Here's wishing you a Happy New Year."
I wished him one back in return.

Now that's one for the ol' resume.
"I see here you have... (lifts glasses to read a second time) destroyed a death star. Most impressive! I see a place for you here on our team."

Not so useful when you're applying for an admirals job on an Imperial Star Destroyer, or as the new Dark Lord of the Sith.

My official job title is Chief Software Engineer. However, I haven't been performing that role since the re-organisation before the re-organisation before the last one. They have never renamed my job title to the more accurate, but much less impressive, Consultant Engineer. I'm going to see if I can keep the title until I retire (<soapbox material>although the government is trying hard to make that harder</soapbox material>)

We have a regulated, formal structure to the job titles that you can have, but what we end up doing on a day to day basis can vary a lot.
Each of the roles has a formal job description, but for each of the descriptions, there is always an item that basically says "you'll do whatever is required of you at the time" (paraphrased).
My official title is Systems Engineer, but I have had many different roles including team leader, project manager, code monkey, architect, consultant. I think this basically means that even though we have formal titles, they don't really mean a whole lot (or that the system of having formal titles doesn't really work very well for small companies).

Yeah, you are right. Just to add to it, Not only small companies even big companies are also in same situation. The official job title doesn't really mean a lot. Its all situation driven roles we play

"Section Leader who couldn't be bothered to invent a name for his section but wanted a long job title just to annoy the personnel department when the time came to have the business cards printed"
Strangely, I wasn't allowed to have it. Something about "stop being a fecking idiot" I think...
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

we have titles, but they're usually made up and loosely based on anything... which is both good and bad!
