I dig this kind of funky thinking, but recognize the difficulty with  
which it can be placed on a resume. I downgraded a title on my resume  
because it could have been perceived as "too senior." It was a midget  
company, and somebody else slapped the moniker on me; I never wanted  
it. Another gig had critical distinctions between Foo Coordinator,  
Foo Supervisor, Foo Manager etc. Very important. Even when I was  
simply a coordinator (oh, the humble life of the coordinator) I was  
often asked to speak/present/entertain/dance at the mercy of the CEO.

Work, and doing it well, is important. Titles come second.
