My job is being a panda. Eating bamboo, looking cute, posing for photos. Not much help in Stop. When the letter Q comes up under Profession, I freeze like everyone else. So I wrote this cheat sheet of jobs that start with every letter, A to Z.

For each letter, the jobs everybody knows come first, followed by less obvious ones for when you want a unique answer.

How to use this list in Stop

Profession is part of the Classic theme in Polar Games’ online Stop. You can also build your own category list.

Stop! only draws letters that have known answers in the round’s categories, and a letter never repeats in the same match. Learn one common and one unusual job per letter: a unique answer scores more than a repeated one.

Usually yes: manager, director and president are accepted by most groups. Very company-specific titles are where people start arguing.
