KTRIC

In a corporation everyone seems to be a vice-president. Surely there is only one vice-president

Just a quick note on that, a lot of companies tend to split it up into smaller groups and the leader of each group is typically known as VP...and they report to the overall President of the organisation...anyway it's a real American sort of setup.

Anyway, I once worked in a department store in the states (while on J1) and my title was 'Stock Associate'. I had the job lined up before I went out and thought I was going into a cool number...anyway I ended up on the tills and stocking shelves..I quit after 2 weeks.

My first job in Dublin after graduating from College has the title 'Systems Delivery Engineer'. I was in development for god's sake...needless to say it was a consulting firm.

Anyway now my title is 'Software Engineer' which is perfect because I design and write software :eek: (when not on boards & drinking coffee).

My favourites: Housewife/Househusband (very PC eh!) - Domestic Engineer.

Anyway for more hilarious job titles check out Gallop Marketing

Executive officer (civil service), which makes you sound really high up, like a CEO, but in reality you can't even execute people!! Swizz!

Not as good as some of the ones here (Director of First Impressions is my favourite), but in the marketing / business area, everyone is either an executive, manager or senior something or other. I didn't think someone could be a senior whatever, if there were no people to be junior whatevers, but I must be wrong.

Let me see....
I know that I'm a 'Sales Administrator' I'm not a salesman, I just organise their shíte and keep their promises.
I'm also CRE 'Customer Relations Executive' so I ring up customers and check if they're happy with what they bought.
Im also in charge of 'Pipeline Management' ie, keeping stock coming into the buisness
When I'm not doing any of the above, I'm a Sales Man (a man who sells things)
When not that, I'm an 'Air Quality Variator' (smoking a cigarette)
Prior to this, I worked as an 'Automotive Aesthetics Technician' (the young lad washing the cars)
So if I were to put evertything on my buisness card I would be-
Lee Hughes - Sales Administrator BA, LLB, CRE.
but it simply says:
Lee Hughes

I'm not calling myself a student any more. It's Trainee Systems Analyst from here on in. And before this I was a Trainee Literary Critic.

Assistant Manager
They are everywhere.
ITs a title in lieu of a pay rise that means fcuk all.
You should be ashamed if you are ever made assistant manager.
It means you;'re not good enough to manage.

Business Development Manager = Salesman

/me continues to look for flashy "Tech Support" name tag, to put in those bloody "what is your current job title" boxes.
