SOME quirky new job titles have emerged over the past few years – including the likes of cloud chief architect and developer evangelist, a new study has revealed.
Research by jobs site Glassdoor found a range of new vacancies because of the rise in social media, cloud computing and technology.
Jobs on offer currently include a developer evangelist (a link between technical staff and outside developers), brow expert (someone who can transform facial features), cloud chief architect (technical advisor), sandwich artist (someone who makes sandwiches) and python developer (computer programmer).
John Lamphiere of Glassdoor said: “Fifteen years ago, a job as a data scientist or software developer meant working in a tech company. That’s no longer the case.
“Because of this, we are seeing a plethora of new and creative job titles which didn’t exist before. In a high employment environment, job seekers have lots of choice, so make sure you research company culture before applying.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
