Who has got a good job title on their business card?
The default at the new company is Managing Consultant but we can pick our own (within reason).
"The Man"
"The Seer"
"The Brains"
"The Brawn"
Oh, mine's just boring old "IT Manager"
I'm a [b]Retail Crime Coordinator[/b]
sounds like I'm a petty crime kingpin when it's quite the opposite.
Retail Crime Coordinator
Floor walker/security guard?
Race Promoter
When I was at the Ordnance Survey during my student placement my payslip used to read 'Nick Clark - Casual Stud' which was quite good.
Nah I'm in charge of the city wide business crime unit- Police, council, trading standards, ASBO teams.. the lot. 😀
If it happens to a business, be it fraud, criminal damage, theft break in etc than it lands on my desk to sort. I was even on radio five the other day!
sand control engineer - didnt mean much to me when i started - starting to "understand" it now !
i know someone who was a "domestic violence coordinator", she spent all day finding men who were willing to beat up their wives. 😉
Business card? What's one of those then?
If I had one it would probably say Senior Analyst/Programmer. Bit dull really
2nd Assistant to the Deputy Sub-Janitor
My father in law used to be a 'Small Works Supervisor' for a large construction company & this title was emblazoned on the side of the van he had
The fact that he's only 5'2" made me chuckle
Legal Counsel.
Which is odd, as counsel means lawyer, so including "legal" is just a tautology. I am often referred to by (non-lawyer) colleagues as "council".
I know a chap who does motivational stuff for big companies and his title is 'Director of Imagineering', and his business partner is 'Director of Impossibility'.
My gaffer put the letters "HNC" after his name.
I think I visibly cringed when he first showed them to me
Chap sat opposite me refers to himself as Highway Tsar. I don't think it's on his business card though.
I am often referred to by (non-lawyer) colleagues as "council".
Not the worst thing a lawyer's ever been called 😆
a mate of mine was working on a roadwork team a few years back and his job title was 'wet end relief'
It always makes me smile when a Management Information Services Manager has MIS Manager written on his or her card.

Yup that's the one. Senior Software Engineer. Yawn
I was also Principle Software Technologist once but they refused my request for Conceptual Engineer
I don't have business cards. I prefer to remain a man of mystery rather than someone with three or four methods of contact.
A fried is a Knowledge Engineer.
Actually, he's a scientist. But everyone's got an "ology" these days.... 😉
