    I am a project coordinator, analyst, specialist whatever the latest word in corporate land, that’s me. When I started in the job in project coordination (after moving from publishing, accounts receivable and customer service manager+), the ladder was project administrator, project coordinator, project analyst, program coordinator, program analyst, portfolio analyst then senior of all the roles and on and on.
