OK, I know he's yesterday's news but.....

....Alex Epstein, Unemployed Head of Communications?

He sold ice cream when he was younger. Why isn't he listed as 'Unemployed ice-cream salesman'?

I can just see him down at the job centre now. .."No, I can't possibly consider that position. I'm holding out for 'Head of Communications'. Just give me a call when one comes up!"

I thought that! I've decided I am an "Unemployed Mrs Pitt"

Because you're likely to define yourself by your last job rather than very first one...?

Surely if you're unemployed, you're just unemployed. The job title wouldn't follow.

If you wanted to mention the job title, it would be "former head of communications"

Wasn't that for the purposes of The Apprentice though i.e. to clarify that he was unemployed as well as his background? Nothing wrong with defining or marketing yourself with a view to the direction you wish to go in. That's why you might have various CVs...

Unemployable would be more accurate for some of them
