Bigging up your job title
Jump to: Newest in thread
I'm pretty sure this job title could be shortened to "logistics person" but no they went for night shift pallet network route planner/coordinator.
Optical enhancer = window cleaner
Etc etc
So how would you big up your job title if you were trying to impress someone

I don't, I underplay it.
What I do for a living is not something I particularly like to talk about - not because it's uninteresting but because talking about work is only a couple of steps up from talking about the weather |

I was dragged by a friend, against my better judgement, to a school reunion a few years back. Don't know why I bothered; full of people who had learned nothing and forgotten nothing, still hanging about in their little cliquey groups.
I went from one group to the next telling outrageous lies:
Yes, I'm just back from piloting oil tankers round the Med, to I design banknotes for the Bank of England - take out that tenner, that squiggle there, that's me, to Can't talk about it, very hush hush.

I had no reservation about introducing myself with the authority it inferred simply because it reflected the gravitas of my job...
I didn't create the title it was the industry-wide recognised description of someone holding my position.....

I used to work for a guy who would make up the most important-sounding job titles he could think of when he hired someone. Whenhe offered me my job he called a meeting with another worker and the head admin and we all strategized the most impressive job title we could for me based on what job I wanted to apply for in the future. But it was my real job title so I never had to misrepresent it on my CV  |

One that I came across many times in my job was "head of site" otherwise known as a caretaker! Yes, head of site where it consists of a school for 1,500+ students with an army of cleaners, odd job and maintenance crews, but not a piddly 6 room primary school! |

"I love job titles!
The best ones use words such as engineer...when the person doing it clearly has no engineering qualifications.
"
Hey! I've been a swimming pool engineer, telecommunications engineer a water treatment engineer and a Royal Engineer! |

Same here. What I do on a general basis should be enough information when people specifically ask but I find it tends to lead to further questions so I try and avoid the subject in casual conversation. |

That was slightly uncalled for....if it does not suit your humour, ignore it!
Yes! I am guilty of regular flippant comments on site, especially if I see an irrelevance to what I consider important...yet now and again...something will strike a chord and I will think long and hard before replying....I always view your threads/comments from a wise/nice and decent person and valued by the swinging community....it it what we do in life that is important, not how we can 'word' our thoughts/beliefs on social media....I wish you well |

"Mine does what it says on the tin and is also a complete conversation stopper.
Would I need a can opener, or are you a peel back sort of lady  "
Like corned beef, with the little key that breaks. |

"Give me a clue
I work in London
Mmm! Similar to the work of JH Mapleson or Rudolph Bing but in a different genre
I have been called 'maestro' but not in that context"
I still prefer professional cosplayer. |

I'm a CGI Artist. In other words, you see all the fake shit in films and games? The Special effects, the environment designs, the backgrounds, character designs, explosions, animation, and all that. Yeah I'm one of those guys that creates that stuff. I'm also a computer wizard, so I fix peoples computers as a side job and hobby.

Cant make a person look better than they already are as I believe that natural beauty is the most beautiful thing about a person, if that makes sense, though I do like to make people look ridiculous, give them horns, mess up their teeth, and just fuck their face up on purpose xD takes a while to do though haha. Plus I'm sure you're beautiful the way you are, buddy |
