Craigslist is a popular place to post free jobs listings. Sometimes the job titles are pretty funny. Here are 51 funny job listings from the site for your pun-filled enjoyment.

This article was inspired by Word Sell’s Cartoon-Inspired Group Writing Project that I discovered on Group Writing Projects.
When I saw the message on the gas pump, I first thought of all these funny resume blunders. Since Robyn – another blogger in this group writing project – already mentioned them in her hysterical post, I decided to compile this funny job titles list.
Funny Job Titles
Update 25/09/09: when I blogged this article, all the funny job titles linked to real postings on Craigslist. As time passed, Craigslist removed the old postings, breaking all my links so I’ve removed them. Believe me though, those were the real titles used. Enjoy!
- experienced bra fitter – I bet they had trouble finding candidates for this one.
- PlayStation Brand Ambassador – please report to your residence in the United States of Nintendo.
- Eyebrow Threading – I REALLY hope this has something to do with dolls.
- Administraive/ Secretary – ok, ok, we get it. It’s clear where you need help.
- Finish Carpenter – for when the Start Carpenter gets tired.
- Helpdesk Technician @ Pentagon – “Uh, hello? I’m having a problem with this missile…”
- Nail Tech – so nails can be pretty complicated…
- Remedy Engineer – aren’t those called “doctors”?
- Saltlick Cashier – new trend in the equestrian industry. Ok, enough horsing around.
- Molecular Biologist II – when Molecular Biologist I gets promoted.
- Breakfast Sandwich Maker – we also got one of these recently.
- Hotel Housekeepers – why can’t they just say ‘hotelkeepers’?
- Preschool Teacher #4065 – either that’s a really big school or they’ve got robot teachers.
- glacéau drop team – for a new sport at the Winter Olympics: ice-water spilling.
- PLUMMER/ELECTRICIAN – get a dictionary/thesaurus first.
- DoodyCalls Technician – they really shouldn’t put down janitors like that.
- Golf Staff – and here I thought they were called clubs.
- Pressure Washers – what’s next, heat cleaners?
- Sandwich Artist – another “Jesus in my food” wannabe.
- Self Storage Manager – this is for self storage?
- Qualified Infant Caregiver – too bad for all the unqualified caregivers on the list.
- Ground Support – but there’s just more dirt under there.
- Gymboree Teacher – the hardest part is not burning your hands sliding down the pole.
- COMMERCIAL space hunter – so they did find animals further out in the cosmos? Who knew.
- JOB COACH – if they’re unemployed when they get to you, what does that say about them?
- KIDS KAMP INSTRUCTOR! – no spelling ability required.
- POOLS SUPERVISOR – “yeah, they’re still wet…”
- HOUSE MANAGER/TEEN SUPERVISOR – see the dictionary under P, for Parent.
- Licensed Seamless Gutter Contractor – just sounds bad.

Funny Job Listings

- Terramar Walnut Creek Seeks Front of House Manager! – no deal, I can only manage the back of the house.
- Part-time Quick Books – last time I checked they were books full-time.
- I Wish I Could Hire Everyone – better start looking for a really big office.
- Get Paid to Wave and Dance!!!! – This is one job I can do for free!
- Wanted: Happy Person – would that be “in your face happy”, “perky happy” or just plain happy?

I’m not sure why ‘experienced bra fitter’ is funny.

Jill, a lot of these titles aren’t funny if you know what the job really is, but if you take a step back, you’ll see the humor in it. After all, these were all real job listings on Craigslist once upon a time.

Wow, thanks for posting – it was a great laugh! :) I love random lists like this – hysterical! I think my fav was “Saltlick Cashier”.
I came across this by doing a Craigslist search via Google and the title totally drew me in! I actually just read another random Craigslist blog, it was about random postings from people – so funny and real, which is almost kind of crazy!
Check it out, you may enjoy it or get another idea from it, such as this one! :)

“Ruth’s Chris” is the name of a steak house chain. My understanding is that the founder (Ruth) named it after her son (Chris). Soooo, I’m not sure why that one is funny … other than that it’s kind of a weird business name in the first place.

alphadork- you know what they say about having to explain jokes…
What I found funny was the idea of a restaurant selling “Chris steaks” i.e. steaks made from a guy named Chris.

These advertisements really cracked me up, it seems now there are many websites that are showing up all these ads that just make you go WTH? The casual encounter section sometimes has ads that just literally shock you.
