I was at a jobs fair the other day in the AECC with a mate. After we’d been headhunted (ok that didn’t happen) we checked out some of the jobs on the board. I wrote down the ones that most intrigued me and thought I’d share…
Title:- Temp HR Generalist
What I think that means:- A Temp HR Generalist is a very wide encompassing position…for a while. Companies need people who they can make do whatever they say without fear of “that’s not in my job description”. Generalists, especially temp generalists, fit this position. A temp Generalist has no clout in a company at all. An HR generalist is there just to make up the numbers in the HR department, I mean you couldn’t put a Generalist in charge of hiring and firing could you ?
Title:- Draughts Person
What I think that means:- Well, we all know what a draughtsperson does, but how about a draughts person(two words). Logically speaking this must be someone who does things with draughts. Perhaps they can play lengthy draughts games, or perhaps they just eat lots of curry/chilli…
Title:- West African Accountant
What I think that means:- I’m fairly sure this job title is against employment laws. You can’t normally dictate what nationality a future employee will be…
Title:- Document Advisor
What I think this means:- I have never worked in an office before but I’m fairly sure this is a made up job for tax reasons. Documents don’t need advice, they need filed.
Title:- Wealth Advisors
What I think this means:- The boy who runs to the bookies for the boss. Duties include advising the boss of any wins/losses and corresponding amounts. This title could also be a bank manager (which is basically the same job.)
In other news, as soon as we went in the door I was approached by none other than a representative of the council shoving a free pen in my hand and telling me to get on their website for a look at available jobs. Who knows, I might do that! HA!
