I was just looking up a word…

Because we all know I can’t spell.

I was trying to describe my job and Wikipedia spoke volumes.

Liaison job
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Liaison jobs are jobs that "link" two or more specialties. For example, "systems analyst" jobs work with customers and management to understand and document their automation needs and then transfer such information to computer programmers, who turn the collected information into working software. Thus the liaison worker coordinates customer and management needs into terms the technicians can relate to. Liaison workers usually need to understand both professions or "sides" to some degree. One could call them a "go-between".


Controversy
Free trade and the Internet have allegedly made such jobs more common, but perhaps at the expense of direct technology jobs due to offshore outsourcing. It is disputed whether technology-only workers can make an effective transition to liaison positions to replace off shored technical positions, or if companies prefer those with "natural" social and diplomatic abilities over converted technicians. In other words, it may be that companies would rather have candidates with mediocre technical skills and advanced social skills instead of those with advanced technical skills and mediocre social skills.

Okay…so I don’t have advanced technical skills but I can fuck you over in the social and diplomatic department.

I’m good at what I do.

It’s called “act nice.”

When you do that…people follow.

That makes me happy.
