I think you should put your actual job titles on your resume. Your new company may check with your old companies and if you said you were a network engineer when you were really a janitor, that wouldn't look good. ;-) If your job titles were meaningless, then maybe you could use one of the ones you mentioned, but be careful not to sound like something you aren't.
People can correct me, but I think the positions you mentioned have approximately the following meanings, starting with the most experienced and highly-paid and working down from there. Network engineer: experienced person who does design, optimization, planning of new installations, and support for the more difficult problems escalated by the support engineers Network analyst: (not sure about this one but here's a guess) experienced person who does some design, protocol analysis for optimization and troubleshooting, and planning of new network installations; probably does some support too, but that's not the focus; may help application people figure out what they will need from the network Support engineer: a person who works in the trenches to keep the network running on a daily basis, also gets involved in new network installations System administrator: a person who manages the servers more than the network infrastructure Priscilla At 11:04 PM 4/9/02, Forums Canada wrote: >Hi to the group > >I am working to make my resume.
