So while looking at jobs online on a well know job search engine I happend to come (ahem) across a job role of 'Penetration Tester'!
The advert then went on to state they looking for a Penetration Tester to join the growing team. Stating that if you want to sharpen your Penetration skills and gain more responsibilities then this is the job for you!!
Now I may have a dirty mind or just plain childish - but this made me giggle so much.
Any other interesting job titles out there? Why not share the fun  |

"Funnily enough I’m looking to become a penetration tester haha "
Well apparently after a period of induction you start working with and shadowing the senior consultants to improve your penetration skills  |

Ah well I can’t wait to meet a senior penetrator. Now who can help me prepare for an interview?  |

Penetration testing is always something I've been keeping my eye on as an option career-wise. I just don't think I could keep a straight face if I ever became one  |

Penetration testing is part of software testing, which is my current career. It's to do with penetrating IT security measures and breaking into systems you are not supposed to have access to. Luke |

To be honest, I'd quite like to see that job ad. It sounds quite interesting, and not because of the smutty interpretation. Luke |

A penetration tester is someone who breaks into a computer system for fun and for profit. Unlike a hacker, who uses similar skills and techniques, a penetration tester has actually the permission of the owner of that system. Very useful if you want to find out if a computer system has any security gaps. A penetration test is also called a "White Hat Hacker", the bad guys are wearing a "Black Hat".
"Grey Hat Hacker" are undecided on which side they are, but are open to suggestion if they receive sufficient encouragement (e.g. money)
Other funny job titles are
- Scrum Master (Project manager for computer programming)
- Cloud designer (Planning and implementation of special computer systems)
- Big Iron operator (someone responsible for big and old-fashioned computers)
We IT people love funny names and titles, it is the only way to get attention |

Yeah - I read into it a wee bit as couldn't believe how the first part of the advert started! I'm sure it grabs the attention though |

"You will not believe this but, but this is actually my job... Otherwise known as ethical hacker haha "
Awww ethical hacker isn't as fun! Imagines of people asking you what you do for a living and saying Penetration tester are so much more fun  |

I once saw a job advert in the local Job Centre. It was for a Vague inspector looking at ladies front bottoms and inspecting for anomalies. I went to the Center and the bloke said I had to go to Cornwall. I said "is that where the job is?" He said 'no, that's where the back of the queue is!!"
Boom boom!  |
