Cap Titles After a Person's Name

For the sake of consistency, is it totally incorrect to cap titles after people's names? Is the sentence below technically correct with cap titles after each person's name?

Can we cap the title, no matter how generic the title (following the name)?

John Smith, Associate Director of Public Relations; Amy Fisher, Zone Director; Jacob Henderson, Store Manager; Tom Kelsey, Human Resources Director; Tim Frank, Loss Prevention Specialist; Caridad Stevens, Cashier; Lisa Phillips, Janitor; Nathan Burrows, Head Custodial Assistant; Fletcher Arsenault, Comedian; Laura Sarsbury, Teacher; and Edward Meyers, Bus Driver, will be at the meeting on June 6.

Thanks!!!

If it is the precise job title, capitalize it. Thus Associate Director of Public Relations should be capitalized, but comedian should not.

So I'm assuming that Zone Director, Store Manager, Human Resources Director, and Loss Prevention Specialist should all be capped AFTER the name, but NOT: cashier, janitor, head custodial assistant, teacher, and bus driver.

Am I correct on all counts?

Thanks a million!

Those seem reasonable, but it depends on which ones are specific job titles. For example, Head Custodial Assistant might be.
