Occupations! - Veggie - 05-11-2023
Do you ever see a Job advertised and haven't a clue what it is? Some job titles are so pretentious. Here's one I saw earlier:-
"Wondering whether anyone can recommend any good eyebrow technicians? Looking for HD brows and brow mapping. Mobile or local."
Sorry, I know I'm old but "eyebrow technician" "HD brows" "brow mapping". What on earth is that about? Is this somewhere you go and end up with eyebrows halfway up your forehead and a permanently surprised look?

I worked with a girl who had plucked her eyebrows so much that they never grew back! She meticulously drew them on every day for the 30+ years that I knew her. Not sure what happened after that because she moved to Australia.

Here's one I came across - visual merchandiser - I hadn't a clue what it meant, and was not much wiser after looking it up - the job entails defining, designing and implementing a creative visual merchandising strategy
I finally worked out that a visual merchandiser is what in my day we called a window dresser!
