Just got a jury summons and wrote in my occupation as accountant. What do you normally put on documents? CPA, Accountant, Auditor?

Accountant eliminates a lot of mistaken ideas of what I do way more than auditor or CPA. If you tell someone you are an auditor, they think you work for the IRS. If you tell someone you are a CPA, they think you prepare tax returns.

I had jury duty recently and wrote down Auditor. I guess they don’t care about busy season because I still got called in. When asked what my occupation is I don’t bother specifying I am an IT Auditor because most people outside of accounting aren’t aware.

Not necessarily for jury duty but in general I don’t like to tell people I’m an accountant. Because I think it implies a nerdy clean freak organized type A personality

I have a wee crush on one of the partners in my firm and I thought he liked me too, but neither of us did anything about it (which is entirely appropriate). That was all pre-Rona. Now I’m leaving the firm and pursuing another opportunity and staying in the same city. Since he’ll no longer be my boss, is there a way to find out if my feeling was correct? How should I go about this? (Especially given Rona?)
