I've got an English 101 question now:
If your job consists of data entry, what is your job title? Is there an official term or is it whatever anyone wants to call it: "Data Entry ______" where the blank could be assistant or technician, or engineer...okay, engineer is a stretch, but seriously, is there an official job title for this?
Please help..we're trying to get a job posting here at work and I'm trying to translate it from the castillian "Capturista de Datos".
THanks.

I just googled it and found "Data Entry Person" and "Data Entry Keyer".

I'd go with data entry specialist myself.

Or i like the term used most commonly, "grunt"

That’s kinda cool! That makes me smile and I actually feel quite large at the end of that.
It’s not that we are better than the universe, we are part of the universe. We are in the universe and the universe is in us."

Specialist is MUCH better than clerk. Clerk is a lowly position. A specialist is much more prestigious.

For some reason this reminds me of the second level in F.E.A.R. They send the "specialist" (you) to take care of the boring simple pressing of a button, while they die while doing the real thing.
