The nice thing about the ordinary gigs is that everyone knows about them. If you are a doctor or lawyer, people won’t stare at you when you tell them about your job, but if you are an SEO or even a blogger, you will probably have troubles explaining your gig to them.
This is what I experience most of the time. At college, when somebody asks me about what I do, and I say “I’m a Search Marketing Consultant” (I don’t even say I’m an SEO because I don’t want to confuse them with acronyms) they just stare at me and say “what the hell is that”?
So I just start explaining the whole thing and most of the time they don’t get it.
Is it because SEO is so geeky or just a weird job? Some of my family members think that I work for Google which is really funny.
