Need a Social Media Marketing Director

It's been almost two weeks since I began my active search for a corporate position.  Updating resumes, writing cover letters, scheduling interviews its as though I am graduating from college again.  It's been almost four years since I've written a real resume, and boy did it need an update.  I've even engaged a head hunter to help find a suitable position at the salary I require.

My ventures in self-employment have been devastating to my personal finances, but no risk equals no reward.  It will take some time for me to dig out of this hole and repair my credit, but it can be done.  To help me get my resume current for the positions I am seeking my head hunter gave me a list of social media job descriptions they have found to be common.  I had to keep myself from chuckling a little as I read a few of them as they are things I do on a daily basis now.

Here are a couple of excerpts from some of them:

Blogger: Responsible for opinionated, stylish writing and frequently posting new content on the Internet.

Online Community Manager: Acts as the front line brand manager by interacting with customers and fans in real time on various web platforms.

Director of Social Media: Responsible for developing and overseeing the execution of strategic social media and digital initiatives, including developing and managing viral marketing campaigns, creating and supervising high-profile channel accounts, and integrating interactive media into the overall business strategy.

Social Media Account Manager: Responsible for setting up social media accounts and maintaining daily activity.

Social Media Coordinator: Responsible for daily posts/tweets to all applicable social media outlets.

As I said all of these are things that I do on a daily basis for my own personal branding, Stigmare and Emerald City Fashion Week.  Any leads or referrals  for these or similar positions would be greatly appreciated.
