Naaah the Yanks will always win that title. As in the case at the hotel. As there is a VP then presumably there is a P of house keeping sercvices and possibly even a senior VP in there also. There will also be people in house keeping services who do not have a V or P in their name who report to the SVP/VP and P
At the place I worked out there in one dept they had multiple jnr VP's, multiple VP's and a few SVP all reporting to one P and nobody below the Jnr VP

I thought banks would not accept people who won't pass credit check as they are high risk? Oh wait you mean her state of finances is NORMAL and she'd pass credit check with ease?
Up till yesterday I thought Subway had the best job title inflation with its "Sandwich Artists". But then I bought a burrito from Benito's Hat and was served by an "Ambassador"!

Then the manager (who is really her customer, not her manager) is making stuff up without authority. You could call your next plumber a Junior Sanitation Assistant, but it wouldn't make him one.
I stayed at a hotel in the US and the free newspapers at reception had a sticker with an address on them. Each one was addressed to the Vice President of housekeeping services at the Courtyard Marriott Cary!
While trying to abide by the “Work to live, not live to work” motto, it bears noting that working to preserve your sanity also plays a big part when you have three small children.
Who am I? Former investment banker who moved to ‘the dark side’, aka technology, some 10 years ago, and still wondering whether I should have opted for that position as first mate on a racing yacht instead.
Currently dealing with imminent redundancy, job hunting, household chores, long-suffering husband and young children. Not necessarily in that order. Oh yes, and writing, of course.

Not bad for someone who seemed to be totally incapable of managing her own finances!

It's a freelancer thing - you pick a job title for yourself then go round doing basically the same thing for various clients.
Well, it could be the same job by titles tend to vary from client to client .. what if she says she was a Business Intelligence Consultant during an interview and a manager from the past job refers to her as a Junior BA or BI Support Specialist?
Look at the dates. When was she unemployed and moaning about it on the beeb there is no break in the dates? Although I only did a quick glance down!
Also, in her whole career since 97 her longest role was 13 months. Lots of 2 and 3 month roles which would imply to me that she's either very good (gets head hunted a lot) or very bad (gets sacked a lot). Given the tulip she came out with on the beeb site I'd plump for the last one!
