Here at Coburg Banks we see so many CVs that you would think that nothing would surprise us any more. However, once in a while we see a weird job title on a CV that is so bizarre it completely bamboozles us.

I have compiled below the 50 weirdest job titles that have genuinely been found on CVs. The majority of the convoluted job titles below are from the marketing sector. It perhaps says something about people in marketing, an industry we recruit for and of which I am one.

I have deciphered as many of the weird job titles as I could and put the logical job title next to the silly one, but some have defeated me. I’ve put a question mark to the weird job titles I couldn’t quite understand. If you can guess what they are, pop your version of the job title in the comments box below.
