Tips

culture
In mainland schools, hospitals, research institutes and state firms this is a formally graded rank won by assessment (初级中级高级), and it sets pay and standing. People spend months assembling publications and evidence for a review panel.
mistakes
Not the same as 职务, the post you actually hold, or 职业, your occupation. 教授 is a rank; 主任 is a post, and one person can carry both.
