Conflict in position title to put in resume
I applied for the position of Head Teacher in an ESL school (my current workplace). However, up to now I deal with admin work and creating learning materials. It's a long story.
Anyway, I’m about to update my resume and start looking for another job, but my dilemma about putting the proper job title keeps me from updating it. I was thinking:
If I put my current position (admin staff) but the prospective employer does a reference check and call my boss, there would be a conflict because my boss would tell that he hired me as head teacher.
If I put the position I actually applied for (head teacher), answering interview questions specific to it wouldn’t be to my advantage. It would be difficult to make up things I didn’t actually do.
As much as possible, I wanna maintain accuracy without compromising my relationship with my soon-to-be former employer and the prospective one. So, which is the better choice between the two?
