Everyone’s met someone with a slightly off-kilter job title. If you’ve been to Subway then you’ll have been served by a ‘sandwich artist’. I once met a certain ‘Mighty Eagle’ from Rovio Entertainment, the developers behind popular mobile game Angry Birds. The term ‘dinner lady’ can be replaced by ‘education centre nourishment consultant’. Journalist? No thanks. How about ‘original digital content executive’?

Mark Wilkinson, co-founder of Coburg Banks, laid out his top 50 weirdest job titles back in November 2014 and we’ve compiled a selection for you here. Wilkinson points out that many of these individuals come from the marketing sector. Well, if you can’t market yourself…
