Job titles when giving notice

It shouldn't matter what you tell people it should only be for their reference. Besides what if you get another job in two months?

If you aren't happy then change it next time you see them, and if you do don't leave it until the wedding day there will be enough going on. Change it when you have a trial run or something like that.

My current job role until Friday is Sales and Purchase Ledger Clerk, needless to say I have put down Bookkeeper on my paperwork so far.

I don't think it actually matters what you put, I guess it's just for their records? I think a lot of people have job titles these days though that encompass a wide range of responsibilities so I'm sure a generic one will be ok. I guess they probably won't even be checking! If in doubt you could always ask to change it.

My dad had a ridiculous job title before he retired which is about 7 words long and I had to try and squeeze it all onto the form the church gave us. Oh then I had to write (retired) after it too ?

I am a Slimming World consultant, and as they can't put a business name down I had no idea what to call myself! Can't remember what I said when I gave notice, but since then I got a second job as a catering assistant, so told them that on the day. No-one was really bothered it was different. Don't worry about it for now, see what happens before next year and decide then what to call yourself ?

I don't think that it matters. I told the registrar my occupation and she said that she would put it down as "civil servant" as the notice is public and she didn't want our details and occupation on display. She said that on the day of our wedding, we can put our proper occupation down x

Thank you everyone, feel better about it now! I was obviously over-reacting which I seem to be doing with wedding stuff recently haha

They went really vague on my application as my job is very hard to desribe so I was talking to them about the job and they said, how about XYZ. That will do.

Does anyone know if the job details and fathers details are on the actual certificates?

Hi, I looked into this and yes they both are on the actual certificates

I can't remember what I put either and not sure why they want to know... just a form filler! I guess if they were suspicious about your intentions to marry, then they would want to know roughly what you do for a living.

Strangely I renewed my car insurance yesterday and by selecting a very slightly different job title, it lowered my premium by a couple of quid!

I tried to be vague with mine as for various reasons relating to my work it best for it not to be on a public document but the lady filling in the form said she needed it to be more specific. She told me the occupation wasn't made public. I see some of you have mentioned that the occupations are public records...is that right...im now worried?!

Yes it is made public, well ours was anyway. They display it in the registry office for 28 days after you give notice and then it goes on your marriage certificate

It is public, it goes on public display for 28 days so that if anyone wants to object, then they can! I doubt that anyone actually looks at them though! X

I don't think you should care about it a lot. You have a job, unlike me, that's the most important. And people there don't really care what you said.
