Recruiting Firm Shares The 50 Weirdest Job Titles They've Ever Seen


Every once in awhile, you'll get a business card with such a pretentious job title, you don't even know what the person really does for a living.

And if you're a recruiter, you probably see more fancy job titles than you'd prefer.
Recruiting firm Coburg Banks shares on their blog 50 of the most ridiculous job titles they've ever come across on resumes.
Most of these titles come from marketing applicants, which "perhaps says something about people in marketing," the post says.
We thought these titles were pretty funny:
