occupational title
'Berufsbezeichnung' and 'Berufsbild' both have to do with professions, but they do not mean the same thing. The 'Berufsbezeichnung' is the name of a profession or professional activity, for example on a contract or form. The 'Berufsbild' describes the profession in more detail: typical tasks, necessary skills, and working conditions. Learners may confuse the words because both appear in conversations about work and training. In practical terms: if you only mean the title, use 'Berufsbezeichnung'. If you want to explain what the profession is like, 'Berufsbild' fits.
