Capitalization of job titles
When do we use capitals for job titles?
for example:
Thank you for offering me the position of Manager.
I am appliying for the position of Manager.
In all my years of working as a manager and teacher, I have gained the necessary skills and experience to.....
The manager asked the visitors to leave.
I was summoned by the Manager to the office.
And if Im going to use "the management" collectively, should it be capitalized all the time?
As agreed upon by the Management.
for example:

Hi, When do we use capitals for job titles? I would say we do not follow definite rules for this. It tends to be somewhat idiomatic.

I saw a position name being capitalized only if it's a part of some caption so it's written in the "Caption Style" or if it's an abbreviation like CTO.

Hi Clive,
By "caption style" I meant the style used for captions when each non-preposition in a phrase is capitalized. For instance:
"Position: Software Engineer in Test"
Not sure that this term exists in any style or typography ma
