For many years my fave has been Void Manager as the prospect of managing nothing at all and getting paid for it seemed quite enticing (It means empty houses/flats) but I have a new winner.

Interviewed a woman last week whose job title is....

Frustrated Access Manager

    lol!

    To Void is also a term meaning to urinate so Void Manager doesn't sound quite so much fun in that context.

    Business Development Executive always makes me laugh - especially the ones at my place - so bad they couldn't develop piles without f****** it up

    Cheers Henry - many moons ago I used to be a Voids Manager and a bloody good one to. Seven week turnaround time down to three days and even instigated old tenants out new ones in on the same day, saving my firm approximately 300k in down time a year.

    Best job title has to be - Kerb Technician (roadsweeper)

    I was once:
    Facilities, Special Projects and Technical Services Manager
    It was for a well know 5 star hotel. Not because i was superman, but because when people left the GM threw their jobs at me ! not for anymore cash though !!Mind you did like "special projects" was great fun.

    I was once a "New model launch team co-ordinator" for a well known car maker.
    The team was me.

    A friend of my son works in a fishing bait factory. His mum works at the same place and is "The manager in charge of putting worms on sticks".
  • My business card just says 'problem solver'
  • Any "Line Supervisors" on here ?

  • I remember seeing a Kent County Council job advert for an experienced "Nappy Coordinator".

    Decent money too..
  • Many moons ago I used to work in a meat processing factory (one of the main reasons I went veggie) and one of the lines had a 'bumhole washer'. Yep, one poor feckers job was to wash the cut out pig's anus in preperation for export to Japan.

    I shit you not!

    There was a job advertised at my place recently for 'Head of Knowledge', reporting into 'Director of Better'.

    We couldn't begin to imagine what the handover was like for the out-going Head.

    Oh, and I was recently emailed a job as an 'Accidental Claims Handler'. As I basically fell into insurance it's pretty apt!
  • I was a Counter at Wilikinsons through sixth form many years ago.
  • Part-time Prothero?
  • I haven't got a job title in fact I can never remember having one in over 40 years of work, does this mean my company overpays me and therefore should I sack myself or make myself redundant?

    Only ever worked for or owned a small company, therefore job title mean nothing, you all do whatever necessary to get the job done, office cleaned etc.
