Noticed someone on my Linkedin contacts had this posted in his job title. Seems to me that these titles are getting dafter and more pretentious by the minute. Prize to the one that comes up with the most stupid one you have seen/heard about.

This prize will obviously involve you being referred to as this from now on. smile

my company is recruiting a "Manager of Fun" at the moment. I would apply, but I think the department of pissed off cynics would miss me too much.

I'd assume that 'Business Over Breakfast' is some kind of company/ brand name, no?

Community manager....

I picture a Timmy Mallett type charecter going around the office in a baseball cap shouting "come on team" and hitting people over the head with an inflatable hammer.

Actuary friend of mine was 'Director of Death' for a while. I imagine the title was a lot more interesting than the job.

I used to be a Process Consultant!

IT generally has the best job titles, a particular bloke I've seen has the title 'Virtualisation Team Lead'. I imagine he walks around with one of those virtual reality headsets on all day.
