Attempting to get out. Based on my current job title alone, I am getting reached out to for positions I’m not remotely interested in. My job title hasn’t matched my day-to-day work in years. Even when I apply to positions I like, recruiters recommend a position that better fits my title and not my work experience. How do I manage this? Can I just change my job title on LinkedIn and my resume to more accurately reflect what I actually do?

Yes , change it to what you do. Internal title doesn't mean that much!

What is your title and what would you consider changing it to?

Just put Senior Manager on LinkedIn. Put whatever you want on your resume (data analytics is a good suggestion).

Yes, of course you can change it

Would you consider it rude or impertinent for someone with that shallow of a connection to you to reach out to talk about working for you? I'm unsure if there are SES issues.

So, what are employers doing for parents? It’s clear school isn’t going to be back to normal so something has to give. We made it through the spring because we thought that would be enough. Working at night because we’re homeschooling during the day isn’t flexibility- it’s unsustainable. Work needs to get done to keep the economy going, but this is a global pandemic. Realizing we are all navigating as we go, the silence from organizations on the crisis parents are in is deafening. Ideas? (Cont.)
