Silly job titles (part 4)

Editor: "Charles, it's not silly jobs. It's silly job titles."
Charles: "Oops!"

There's an old joke which goes...

'I used to be a rubbish collector, but now I'm pretty good at it.'

Or for the benefit of any American readers, 'I used to be a garbage collector, but now I'm pretty good at it.'

However, thanks to the modern trend of inventing stupid pretentious names for jobs, nowadays the joke would go...

'I used to be a sanitation engineer, but now I'm pretty good at it.'

Not quite as funny if you ask me. Well, not unless you're into bizarre jokes which don't make sense.

Anyway, this week on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog I'm once again highlighting pretentious modern job titles in the form of a quiz. Have a look at the following jobs, and see if you can work out what jobs they actually refer to.

"Who's turn is it to relocate the dust this week?"

To give you a helping hand, the first job title should be familiar...*

* Unless you've got the memory of a goldfish.

1) Sanitation Engineer

2) Beauty Ambassador

3) Dust Relocation Technician

4) Waking Night Project Worker

5) Custodial Engineer

6) Front Line Customer Support Facilitator

7) Vehicle Restoration Engineer

A rubbish collector.
"That's not true! I'm very good at my job!"

8) Creative Practitioner

9) Recycling Operative

And finally, here's a job title which hasn't changed, but which needs to be updated to more accurately reflect the modern role of the job...

10) BBC Journalist
