Hi Chris.....

I think that many of us in RIM field struggle to get our positions where 
they best fit in the organization and then to have they positioned 
financially where they should be.  This will be a struggle, and will no 
doubt take some time,

The job you described is not an "analysts" position.  It is a Records 
Managers position. 

When building my resume I used "power words" or phrases such as Developed 
annual and long term operational plans....; Provided leadership and 
guidance...; Conducted IM/RM compliance audits....;Monitored information 
and privacy legislation...;Developed, recommended, implemented and 
maintained policies, procedures and guidelines...;  Use words like 
analyze, direct etc..   I think you get the idea.

We have career bands here as well and positions are based on skills, 
education and risk within the organization.  HR is not a great department 
to report to.  I'm not certain why they would place you there in the first 
place?  However, it is my experience that the best placement for records 
staff is either under legal or IT.

You need to show the importance of records to your organization. Assisting 
with a lawsuit would help in this manner.  Show how effective records 
management saves time and money.    Dr. Mark Langemo has a terrific book 
on "Successfully Managing Records Programs".  The book is at home on my 
bookshelf and I can't remember the exact name, but I have found it to be a 
great help.

Good luck and take care.....
