Hi All,
Have you noticed that we no longer call jobs by their real name we tend to make up titles that make us sound more important? I keep a collection of resumes with funny job titles and unusual names that people give themselves. One of my resume, the person was a cashier at a grocery store but apparently that is a financial transaction specialist. A parking lot attendant is an entry and exit operator, a custodian at an amusement park is an ecological technologist and many more. Below is a list of some titles found both on resumes and on job postings that make you think:
