To think that a "Cake Consultant" is just a really poncy way of advertising a job?

[francisdrakehasleprosy]

So I was just reading an AIBU thread and happened to glance at the MN job adverts on the right, and this was screaming at me: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/jobs/2175240--Konditor-Cook-Cake-Consultant-Londons-Cake-Shop-7-50-per-hour-after-training
Wt-good-f is a Cake Consultant other than someone who works in a cake shop and why would you ever, ever risk putting that sort of poncy nonsense on your CV?
I mean, I would love to work in a cake shop but I'd rather drown myself in a bowl of fermenting yeast than call myself a "Cake Consultant"!

marsha spreadables?

Yeh they're having a tough time apparently, world isn't so keen

I really hope the advertisers are reading this. They might want to reconsider their job titles...

London's = belonging to London
Londons' belonging to several londons

This isn't an ad for a baker, it's an ad for a barista with occasional cake writing on duties. If you can hold a pen you can do that. £7.50 is pants but hardly out of line with similar roles.

My Dm used to volunteer at our primary school, listening to children reading their reading books.
She has been known to refer to this to people (especially people she wanted to impress) as being a "literacy coordinator."
It sounds like something she's made up.

Pink it's the Cake Shop of London, therefore London's? Basic grammatical point there!

GLOBAL HEAD OF SPREADABLES

OMFG, why do people always tell you these things too late? All this time I've been feeling inadequate because I never wanted to be an occupational therapist or a fitter of artificial limbs like the careers advisor said. All this time I could have been a GLOBAL HEAD OF SPREADABLES.

Arf. There's probably only one, hope he's not reading

Yeah I made a stupid mistake. My education is as shit as they come.

As you were.

Three I have a feeling your yellow fat guy might know the spreadable guy.

It's a tough gig post 70s

Ah Pink don't feel bad :( But probably not best not to pull people up on it unless you are really really sure :)

The advert is a mean joke. I'd dusted off my CV and everything.

Given that they want £16 for a 7" victoria sponge they can pay better money than that!

I wouldn't pay £22 for a very ordinary looking coffee and walnut cake.

I think he should ask to be called 'Margarine Man' instead, but he's having none of it grin

None of the spreads that we have now are actually margarine.

OMG! Sorry but how can they justify £22 for a 9" single layer coffee walnut cake??? and then pay less than the living wage? What a cheek.

Bit like the multi-national I work for that paid its share holders a dividend while refusing even a cost of living rise to those of us at the bottom of the heap. Personally I think that's immoral.

I once knew someone who was a Button Buyer, and I also met a Chief Tomato Buyer once, although I'm not sure if she was in charge of lots of tomato buyers or if she only bought chief tomatoes.

I saw that ad - I thought the wages were a mistake, then I realised that the job was basically a cake maker with a posh title.
