I was a noodle ambassador, once upon a time.

I laughed out loud when I saw someone I know on LinkedIn convert from real estate agent to ‘prompt engineer’

A good line from a video about a cancelled game jam documentary: “Matti was hired as a Pepsi Consultant, a job title less dignified than Human Trafficker”

If I remember reading some old Mac magazine correctly, Guy Kawasaki’s official job title at Apple was “Intergalactic Evangelist”.

Futurologist

I really want the job of “head receiver,” like Jerry here.

I was being recruited to design and develop a machine that sorted bull semen into male and female and I half jokingly said I’d consider it if i could have the title of Sr Semen Sorter and manager said ok. COVID stopped the project though

Worked in printing before things were phased to computers and had to shoot/cut out negatives on a light table for the press plates. It was called “stripping”. So, I was a stripper once without taking off any clothes.

Pharmacists are drug dealers. At least I call them that. 😁

I have a friend who works in GIS and had a title of “Maker of Maps”

A former colleague had the title “Project Professional”.

As you can tell, he was good at doing projects, just not at doing anything in those projects.

Maybe this doesn’t count but… I once had a manager who had “Master of All He Surveys” on his business card.

We didn’t get a long too well.

Chief Trainee.

Context: The hierarchy at this job I once had (and still kind of have) went like this:
First, the four departments:
Technician, Navigator, Mechanic, Processor.

Trainee tech/nav/mech/proc -> tech/nav/mech -> Shift Leader tech/nav/mech/proc -> Chief tech/nav -> Party Chief

This one guy we hired was good at what he did, and he had years of experience from a different company. He was hired with the understanding that he’d take on the chief role after some time.

However, HR stupidity dictated that a certain duration with the company was required for various levels, so he had to start as a trainee. And pay was also linked to this, and he was supposed to be paid as a chief.

So I as a shift lead at that time had him working under me as Chief Trainee so he could learn our methods and systems before he got into the role as my Chief.

I was looking for a new job recently and found a listing for Part-time Manhole Cover Inspector. Was tempted to apply, but I was not qualified.

My younger brother had a summer job in high school as a worm farmer.

One of the dispensaries near me has weed consultants called “Rangers.”
