I have a query returning the following

  Name | job profile
---------------------
  a    |  Admin
  b    |  User
  c    |  User
  d    |  Employee
  e    |  Admin
  f    |  Employee

I would like to use PIVOT (if even possible) to make the results like so

Admin | User | Employee
 -------------------------
 a    | b    | d
 e    | c    | f

Use a UNION to add more than one PIVOT with aggregates MAX() and MIN().

SQL

DECLARE @Job TABLE (Name CHAR(1), [Job Profile] VARCHAR (10))

INSERT INTO @Job
    (Name, [Job Profile])
VALUES
    ('a', 'ADMIN'),
    ('b', 'USER'),
    ('c', 'USER'),
    ('d', 'EMPLOYEE'),
    ('e', 'ADMIN'),
    ('f', 'EMPLOYEE')

SELECT [ADMIN], [USER], [EMPLOYEE]
FROM (
   SELECT *FROM @Job
) J
PIVOT (
    MAX(Name) FOR [Job Profile] IN ([ADMIN], [USER], [EMPLOYEE])
) Result
UNION
SELECT [ADMIN], [USER], [EMPLOYEE]
FROM (
   SELECT *FROM @Job
) J
PIVOT (
    MIN(Name) FOR [Job Profile] IN ([ADMIN], [USER], [EMPLOYEE])
) Result

Use a Dynamic PIVOT, if you do not know the exact number of Job Profiles.
