to ask what is the daftest job title you've heard ?

[mrsfuzzy]

my local dustmen [they are all men] are now know as 'community cleansers' eh? and the term 'human resources' always reminds me of organ transplants for some mad reason. what happened to personnel department ? god, i'm getting grumpy in my dotage !

My DS worked for a vairy naice supermarket shelf-filling when he was at school. Used to make me snigger when he came to say he'd been working in "ambient" that day. Which I gather meant not chilled, fresh or frozen.

Another former Sandwich Artist here. I am honestly surprised at just how many titles there are in this thread that win the battle hands down. I feel better about my sandwich art now.

Some of these are brilliant! I'm rather jealous that I don't have a cool job title. It's either "Removals Coordinator" or "Assistant Transport Assistant" which I suppose is preferable to "Steve's Bitch"!

Stepfather used to be a Titty Clipper.

He worked in an abattoir and had the job of clipping the nipples off the dead pig carcasses. < shudder >

Central coordinator - receptionist
Tbh it did seem to make sense as a title

They are all jobs in communications believe it or not!

No connection just discovered with googling. Potatoe head, head of the potatoe council. I so want that job!!!!

That current Mumsnet jobs advert see on RHS of this page for Stella & Dot wanting "Stylists" wtf do they actually want people to do in the post?

Our local authority employs an 'Animals dead on highway technician' which seems to involve scraping squashed animals off the road.

i'm sahm = head of internet operations

I think I posted earlier that DH is an Agile Practitioner. He's just corrected me : he's an Agile Coach. That explains it then!

"el presidente"
I got away with it for nearly a year

It's the terrible Americanisation of job titles (along with everything else)! I do wonder how soon before everyone is a vice president of something or other as it appears to replace the word manager over there.

There was a Hedghog Officer on radio 4 yesterday.

How much of the day can you fill with hedgehog related activity?

I know the hedgehog officer. Very important job!

I worked for a company that had a Director of Space. It was a retailer and basically his job was to decide how the space in stores was used, so it was relevant, but I always used to think of him as being in charge of Outer Space!

My friends dad had the title Supreme Allied Commander. He worked for NATO I think, but it always made me laugh, like he was some sci-Fi intergalactic war hero.

Umm, this post is one of the two most senior military posts within NATO. Which means I could probably work out who your friend is quite quickly.

I know a Penguin Expert. I think he has the worlds best job.

Psychological wellbeing practitioner.

I used to work in a library undergoing a lot of work, lots of terms bandied around! Librarian is a protected title, so those who didn't have the certificate were called all kind of things.

My favourite was the suggestion the library be 'rebranded' as a ''Dream Store'.

the official name for me in the pub I used to work in was 'brand hostess'. No thanks, barstaff!

Anything that ends with 'engineer' unless you are actually an engineer, with a proper engineering qualification.

Alcohol floating support worker.

Just need a swimming pool full of gin and I'm right there...

Creative Room Energiser - saw this once in a job bulletin, me and a colleague thought it sounded kind of like being a Glade Aromaplug or something, but no it is real, not sure what you would have to do though!

Freestyle Podium Dancer - wanted my colleague to apply for a laugh and go and do his dad dancing for them (well it would have definitely been freestyle!).

I did once apply to be a Graphic Designer for a porn company, did get asked if I was broad minded enough

National manager, Wind.

Lovely person : cool business card.

just seen job ad on MN for a 'Community Banker'? Banks just aren't set up for any community benefit these days, but back in the ice age, my Dad had a Bank Manager who actually knew who he was - very much a community banker. Let's have some more of them please!
