John, my boss (not his real name, it's actually Dave

) has said "put what you want on your business card as your job title"

He's vetoed "Dave's Bitch" and was lukewarm "Emperor of the Galaxy, vanquisher of the Zargs and heir apparent to the throne of the universe" but I think that he'll come round to it

.

So what would you have?

I tried for Pope. That got turned down too.

I used to have: "Software Janitor"

I doubt I'd get that past The Powers That Be at $VERY_LARGE_COMPANY.

My old ones have 'Director'. The new ones will just have my name.

I have to have solicitor on mine and my practising certificate on my office wall somewhere. I don't bother with anything else, although my suggestion that it have at last in brackets as a post script was vetoed. Others seem to have everything down to their 5 metre swimming certificate and firelighter's badge displayed

My company have generic cards that have address and phone numbers for the head office, and how email addresses work (firstname.lastname@domain.com). That's it.

Saves money. trees, provides 99% required info, and is sustainable.

If you need to tell someone who you are - you can use a pen.

The system in which I have been designated a "Subject Expert" is called Automatic Route Setting.

So I am an
Automatic
Route
Setting
Expert.

No change there then.

Expert.

Ex= was
spert=a drip under pressure.

There are similar definations which would demand instant relocation to NSFW

My actual job description is "Spacecraft Operations Engineer", which sounds fairly cool anyway!

What some friends put on a business card for me one time was this : -

Herr Bismark of all trades
Computer brain and system crasher

Free favours for all
No distance too far
No favour too ridiculous

I don't know where they come up with that idea

hatler · « **Reply #11 on:** 24 July, 2008, 08:47:06 pm »

Left to me I would have

System wheel attachment operative.

I have a client is in the advertising industry. One of the partners has "Head of Colouring In" on his card, the other has " Head of Fun" on his

My card just has my name on it because I'm a one-person company

I'd like one to match my work mug, which says "Queen of Fucking Everything."

I love it

One reason I don't buy "innocent" smoothies is the daft job titles they have. Looking on their website they have vacancies for Office Superhero, Great Plains Support Superstar and Supplychain Superstars.

Bah.

I used to have a name badge to which I added HOPC after my name. I was asked what it stood for on surprising few occasions.

Head Of Paper Clips.

Mine's boring, it just says Energy Efficiency Officer. I have been guilty of low tech alterations to a colleague's so it says "knobhead". trouble is, he didn't give it to the person I expected him to, thus spoiling my cunning plan.

I think if I really got to choose, it might be along the lines of Beer Testing Executive, or "eyelid internal surface inspector".

Kirst can't be that good at her job, she hasn't got round to me yet......

Blah · « **Reply #21 on:** 25 July, 2008, 09:19:51 am »

I just have my name. Job titles are poncy.

Regulator · « **Reply #22 on:** 25 July, 2008, 09:43:43 am »

"Judge, Jury & Executioner" or possibly "Bane of Incompetent and Arrogant Solicitors"
