So, they're really good at denuding sheep? Not what I'd want on a company bio! Iain.
Well my rapier wit is just sooo sharp ... Fixed.

Hi all, I'm hoping some of you can spare a few minutes to help. Our president has declared that everyone in the company has to have their biography on our staff pages (I’m still trying to convince her to let me be an exception.) I don’t have to write it, our marketing person will do that, but I do have to explain to her (in small/simple words) what it is I do. (writing for public consumption is a skill I don’t have yet, but an going to try to work on.) :) What I need help with is how to explain my job to her. Another complications is that while employed by one company, I do work for 2 others in a shared services arrangement, so should I include what I do for the others as well? My title is web developer. I write and code the websites in c# and .net 2-3.5 depending on the site and usage. Someone else generally does the graphical stuff, determining what it should looks like, then I take the final photoshop files and build out the site from there. I’m also starting to do SharePoint development, and I administer one of the companies CRM’s. Part and parcel of that is some Database admin, writing stored proc’s setting up access, users, etc. I’m the only developer, so I do all testing, setup, deployment, basically everything remotely or conceivably related to web is part of my job. Thanks for any advice :)

Have a look in the Buzzword forum. There's lots of gems from there that you should include. Make sure you use synergy, value added, customer centered for example. A few of those and you should do fine. :)

Email the link for the forum to the marketing department, they would feel right at home. You may never even hear from them again.

shudder, sorry, I don't want that much information on the web. I'd rather have nothing there but my name and job title.
I would think you could make a case for invasion of privacy. I would also limit my exposure. Make em stick to name and job title.
