We’re about to post some job listings for LaunchPad Coworking. We’ve been calling one of the positions “concierge” but aren’t yet 100% committed to that title, so we thought we’d look online for some inspiration. Lo and behold, we found the Dictionary of Occupational Titles. We’ve been amusing ourselves with this list on and off all afternoon …
Some of the very real positions for which we will not be hiring:
- Adding Machine Servicer
- Bunghole Borer
- Cauliflower Harvesting and Packing Supervisor
- Crystal Growing Technician
- Doll-eye setter
Dope Mixer- Egg Smeller
- Jawbone Breaker
- Jowl Trimmer
- Lard Bleacher
- Mannequin Mounter
- Smoke Eater
- Snuff Blender
- Sock Ironer
- Tail-end Rider
- Upsetter
- Whizzer
- Zipper Trimmer

What’s so archaic about harvesting and cauliflower? It’s not going to harvest and pack itself!

Sounds like titles from that old set of Bud Light commercials …

As someone who stumbled upon this project accidentally, and loves it, I’d be interested in knowing where those postings will appear.
