Does your resume contain a definite heading / title showing the positions you qualify for?
If you were looking for a Project Manager, which card would you pick?
A resume title is one of the many simple things which will fast-track your resume for consideration. Put the the "Position Title(s)" you qualify for, underneath your contact information at the top of your resume.
A title makes your resume rank higher in search engines. Position titles are the first search terms recruiters use to find candidates. If these keywords are at the top of a resume. The resume will rank higher in the search.
A title makes it easy for a recruiter to identify YOU for the right position. After shortlisting 10-200 resumes based on keyword content, recruiters spend 6-10 seconds per resume to identify the best 2-5 obviously matching candidates. Resumes which are confusing or have no information may be Put-Aside-For-Later".
A title confirms a resume is on track for submission. Recruiters never get in trouble with their managers or clients when they submit an obviously matching candidate.
A heading / title should be made from one or more role titles. Keep your heading simple, but make it broad enough that you don't limit your options. You can qualify for a role if you worked previously by that title OR you gained experience but didn't have the title.
**NOTE: Descriptions such as "Industry Leader" and "Proactive Performer" are NOT role titles. "Project Management" is NOT a role title, but "Project Manager" is.
If you have experience in a couple of roles you can indicate this by using multiple role titles in your heading. E.g. if you are a Business Analyst with some Project Management experience you might use the title: Business Analyst / Project Manager
If you are a primarily a Project Manager with some Business Analyst skills you might use the title: Project Manager / Business Analyst. List the most important skill first.
An entry level candidate with no work experience might use the title: Entry Level Software Developer
Use job titles which reflect the positions you qualify for, based on your experience. You are writing your resume for the reader, not to conform to the official job titles of your previous positions. For example I have seen candidates who have several years of experience as a Business Analyst but they feel obligated to use a title like "Analyst Level III" because it was their official title in their previous position. Don't be caught up in this legalistic thinking. Write your resume honestly, and primarily to inform the reader about understandable job titles you qualify for. In this case the candidate should use the title "Business Analyst".
If you are looking for titles which fit you, Have a look at profiles on LinkedIn and see what the most common and widely recognized titles for someone with your skills are. Spend some time to zero in on the best titles for you. You may find there are multiple titles that fit you and you can use both of these titles on your heading. e.g. Technical Analyst / Infrastructure Engineer
