In the past I've had the same sort of problem when filling in forms
which ask for my occupation. There never seemed to be anything remotely
close to what I was actually doing. For example, being an MP's
researcher's researcher. Probably doesn't even have "MP's researcher".
I've sometimes fallen back on "Computer programmer", although that's a
bit of an oversimplification.
