I see a lot of American's CV's and they seem to be the worst for generally giving really over the top job titles. Pretty much anyone seems to be able to be a "Senior VP of.....", then you speak to them and they're looking for £25k.

I saw an advert for a 'Dignity and Diversity Manager' a while back. The ad read along the lines of 'Your role will be to promote dignity and diversity in the workplace... etc'. Salary was about £40k.

No prizes for guessing which sector it was in.

The Vision Clearance Executive - in the real world, a window cleaner - has been voted the most stupid job title ever.

It beat Education Centre Nourishment Production Assistant (dinner lady) and Waste Removal Engineer (bin man) to the title.

Domestic Engineer - or housewife - and Knowledge Navigator (a teacher).

Other bonkers jobs were Stock Replenishment Advisor - a shelf stacker - and the Dispatch Services Facilitator - post room boy.

Flueologist turned out to be a chimney sweep,
Head of Verbal Communications was a secretary cum receptionist.

Petroleum Transfer Engineer ....a petrol pump attendant


Environment Improvement Technician was... the cleaner.




edit... "Petroleum Transfer Engineer ....a petrol pump attendant"


LOL!! sorry for lolling but had to.

not true, I bet I know a couple of PAs that probably earn more than you and me put together!

"proper" PA's have thier own secretaries!
