The two most random ones were a company that made sand mounts for joining up train tracks with molten metal and a company that made ultra high quality cameras for measuring dust partials for the flour milling industry.

A few years back I worked alongside a company who’s sole specialism is craning cast iron victorian artist etching presses through top floor windows. They travel all over Europe doing it.

Mr Chiaramonte described himself as an “agro-food consultant for third millennium cuisine”

I was once at a meeting with various health specialists and other partners. As we introduced ourselves one woman gave her title as Kirklees Breast Feeding Champion. I asked a genuine question about the post which unfortunately was misinterpreted and earned myself a rebuke from my line manager who was also present.

The department at my work that comes up with job titles is now called “talent acquisition and retention” rather than “HR” like it is every where else!

We don’t have a HR Manager anymore. We have a Chief People Officer.

It’s all HR Business Partners these days isn’t it?

I once saw a job advert for a “Domestic Violence Co-ordinator”, which seemed a bit unnecessary.

Saw a local authority adevrt for a Teenage Pregnancy Coordinator a couple of years ago – I assume you would have to be a male to apply 😉

These irritating sales folk with the pullovers and shiny breeks at arnold clark are no longer called salesmen but product consultants

My job is getting people to go to university. That’s pretty much a thing that just happens, and there’s a pretty good argument that too many people already do it, and my uni is generally full up anyway. But apparently, it still makes sense to have Education Liaison Officers. Which obviously is a job title that means NOTHING AT ALL, not to mention nobody can spell liaisison so probably half the emails that anyone sends us don’t arrive. My job tomorrow is to hire some alpacas. My life is meaningless.

My previous job title was Production Facilitator, basically all the boring day to day shit my then boss didn’t want to do.

It was great: interviewing shop floor staff, covering for him in meetings, signing documents. Learned a lot about the business with no real responsibility, until they made him redundant and left me running the plant!
