Ridiculously overblown job titles.

I keep telling our MD that I should just have my name on my business cards, my new title is just daft as it makes it sound like I'm just a Jack of all trades!

But my business cards slip Sales and Operational Manager next to my name, it really annoys me!
In one part of my life I work with big German software and hence the name of job roles are rather grounded and pragmatic . The other part is more complementary health and of late I have met a cat energy therapist and an emotional issue energist.
I tend to think they use their job titles as a a way in to conversations.

US corporation I worked for had a complete Voice of the Customer department, with a VP VOC and numerous VOC analysts.
One I worked for called its customer services people Customer Advocates. I think that's fairly widely used in the US.Sheepshanks said:

General Aladeen has ordered the execution of 'Nuclear' Nadal, the head of his weapons programme, because of a disagreement over the shape of the warhead. In America, he sees Nadal working in an Apple shop and discovers all the people he ordered the executions of have been helped to escape to the USA.
General Aladeen: You're an Apple Genius, so what do you do?
Nadal: Mostly I clean semen out of laptops.

Personal Assistant...what's that, secretary who wipes her boss's bum...??
Someone who probably holds your career in her hands....I think another problem is that there is such a difference I what PA's do, as all assistants have that title. Granted there are some low level PA's that do basic diary management, but it all depends on who you're working for and how senior the role is?
