Title: Knob Head (seriously!)eval Description: Transportation specialist. Ok, I remember being derogatorily called this name as a young person. Who knew that with the right training a person could actually grow up to be one? Average Pay Rate: $44,000/year 2. Title: Ideation Director Description: Marketing Executive. Idea + Generation = Ideation? This is why the marketing people should not be left unsupervised for long periods of time. Average Pay Rate: $120,070/year 3. Title: Integration Synchronicity Specialist Description: Systems Engineer. It looks like the technology department has fallen prey to the marketing department’s “ideations.” Average Pay Rate: $90,000/year 4. Title: Business Communications Conveyer Description: Courier. It’s honest work for those who do not want to be stuck in an office. The dream job tends to sour on bad weather days, however. Average Pay Rate: $25,710/year 5. Title: Public Sanitation Technicians Description: Garbage Collector. This has to be the most under-appreciated job on the planet. Average Pay Rate: $29,000/year 6. Title: Office Hygiene Control Specialist Description: Cleaner/Janitor. Again, this is honest work for those who want a physically active job and the opportunity to snoop around offices after hours. Average Pay Rate: $21,970/year 7. Title: Office Administration Facilitator Description: Office Orderly. If you are fortunate enough to have obtained such a cushy position, just be thankful for the moment. With companies downsizing and managers expected to multi-task, the office orderly may be an endangered species. Average Pay Rate: $28,136/year 8. Title: Theft Prevention and Surveillance Officer Description: Watchman/Security Guard. As long as wealth distribution officers or thieves as they are so disrespectfully called exist, the good security guard will always remain employed. Average Pay Rate: $52,000/year 9. Title: Dreams Fulfiller Description: Financial Services Consultant. According to the “Occupy Wall Street” crowd, the financial services industry may indeed have made someone’s dream come true at the expense of 99% of Americans representing the middle class. Average Pay Rate: $81,802/year 10. Title: Printed Document Handler Description: Typist. Yes, this occupation still exists usually in the form of a court clerk or data entry analyst. To be competitive in this field, one has to be extremely fast and accurate. I’m talking smoke coming from your fingers fast! Average Pay Rate: $43,000/year 11. Title: Change Catalyst Description: Business Executive. Lately “change” in business equates to layoffs. I’d venture to call this position the “termination catalyst.” Average Pay Rate: $110,550/year 12. Title: Bat Cave Scavenger Description: Fertilizer collector. This job requires identifying a bat habitat and proceeding to collect the bat’s poop. The bat’s guano is supposed to be a rich source of natural fertilizer. This position was featured on “Dirty Jobs” with Mike Rowe. This is clearly a very nasty career choice and no cool, black “bat mobile” is included. Average Pay Rate: Unknown; pay may vary by bat cave. 13. Title: Food Preparation Officer Description: Cook. This is one of my most esteemed professions. Average Pay Rate: $40,000/year for a specialty food service catering cook. 14. Title: Office Access Control Specialist Description: Receptionist. This is the infamous door keeper dreaded by outside sales professionals. Average Pay Rate: $25,095/year 15. Title: Family Environs Upkeep Manager Description: House Maid. An even more politically incorrect description would be simply “Mom.” For the record though, the description is officially “housekeeper”. Average Pay Rate: $21,840/year These last 5 positions with funny job names are from companies which were hiring. 16. Title: PHP Ninja Description: Web Application Developer Average Pay Rate: $60,000/year Hiring Company: SurfMerchants LLC 17. Title: Vision Clearance Engineer Description: Windshield Replacer Average Pay Rate: $50,000/year and up Hiring Company: Redline Executives 18. Title: Nutritional Intervention Advisor Description: Weight Loss Consultant Average Pay Rate: $19,000/year Hiring Company: Jenny Craig 19.

Dont Get Scammed When Buying A Property Overseas

Don’t Get Scammed When Buying A Property Overseas Local laws and the unsuspecting purchaser If you want a more relaxing lifestyle, and you prefer a life in the sun to the unrelenting misery of a UK winter, then you may well be thinking of joining the thousands of Brits who’ve bought a property overseas. But take heed, your dreams may well turn to nightmares if you don’t take professional advice. Local laws and the unsuspecting purchaser Every country has its own set of rules and regulations concerning property, and there is no way that an overseas buyer can expect to be familiar with them all. It’s always a good idea to seek professional advice. If you are thinking of investing in Portugal property, or looking at a house in Italy then you should always talk to a local specialist who’ll be able to guide you through the legal process. Just because you are familiar with the house buying process in the UK, you are not qualified to understand some of the archaic laws concerning land and property overseas. Buying in Spain The Daily Telegraph published a feature that exposed some of the scams that may be encountered by the unwary. A number of Brits have bought properties in Spain, only to discover that these houses have contravened local planning laws and will have to be demolished. At least 4,000 people might find their dream homes could be demolished under the jaws of the bulldozer. In some parts of Spain, corruption is said to be rife and unscrupulous developers deliberately target the British market. Innocent victims should be aware that the Foreign Office (FO) can do little in these local property disputes. A spokesman for the FO said, ‘we recognise this is a substantial problem and we can bring to the attention of the Spanish authorities the problems British residents are facing,’ but that’s all the FO can do. Some popular scams If a vendor suggests that a cash purchase will be a cheaper and easy option, this is probably not the case. The blog, proper-Spanish Tapas highlights some alarming stories concerning UK foreign property owners who wanted to sell their homes. In one instance, a woman who was trying to sell her house in France was approached directly and offered a sum of money above the advertised selling price. A £12,000 money order was placed in her account to cover legal costs, and the buyer asked the vendor to pass this on to his alleged lawyers. The buyer very wisely waited, ten days later the money order bounced. The house sale was never going to take place. Cash is never king in the property world. You might lose your deposit The first step for buying a home in any part of the world is usually to place your deposit with the vendor’s legal representatives. If you are thinking of buying a property overseas, try to check up on the validity of the development company or at least their financial security. Many purchasers have been caught out thanks, in part, to the crisis in the Eurozone, and have seen their hard earned deposits evaporate. The independent property advice hub, Buy Association advises that: ‘Scrimping on independent legal advice at the very beginning can cost you so much more in the long run.’
