Does anyone else feel that titles like “Chief Strategic Thinker” or “Class A Marketing Ninja” are plain ridiculous? If a resume ever shows up on my desk with such ridiculous titles, I just throw them away. Period. What do you folks think? Edit: Leave comment below on the most ridiculous one you have come across :)
Principal Fungible Engineer
When I retire I'll assume the title of Chief Homeland Security, sitting on the porch with a shotgun and a beer.
They should be caned
Nope... Whipped, crossed and then burned in the main square... To make a example for the rest
Wow it’s almost like the title doesn’t matter! You think we should look at experience or something?
If someone works in an org and has a self-imposed title of a “Chief Strategic Thinker”, they already have a very high opinion of themselves. They can continue to be the Strategic-Thinker-In-Chief, I will find someone relatively normal for my team
That or maybe they don’t care about their title so they try to put something clever that stands out. I get what you’re saying but I wouldn’t penalize or screen them out early cuz of that. Personally I think it’d be interesting to just ask them what makes you a “chief strategic thinker”? I’m sure red flags will be raises if they can’t justify it.
Ninja goes directly to trash.
" Chief Wizard" WTF? https://www.crunchbase.com/person/sachin-dev-duggal#section-jobs

I do this all the time. I put my title as “Data acquisition analyst” when I worked as a call center phone person because we’d listen to our calls at the end of the week and make improvements to our tone and customer service skills.

You probably have boring personality so you are uncomfortable around people who have fun personality.

What has a ridiculous title have anything to do with an individual’s personality? If anything most people just use regular business titles and I know plenty of them are interesting and intelligent people.
