Absolutely Ridiculous Job Titles
Warning….rant ahead.
I just can’t hold it in any longer.
I am sick of all these stupid job titles.
Web 2.0 has brought a lot jobs, but with them has come the silliness.

What the heck?
Yes, when there’s a new job you have to create a title that fits, but some of these titles are taking it a little too far.
I’m all for creativity but there’s a hint of self importance that irks me. And sometimes it’s just plain silly.
What if you have to go back to work at a more traditional firm. What are you going to put on your resume? Good luck trying to network with some Corporate America Head Honcho when your job title sounds just as ridiculous as President of Donut Consumption.
What do you think about these web 2.0 job titles? Do you have one yourself?
