Re: Finding content in your job title

For instance, I like to present myself as a 'network engineer'. I have never taken formal education, don't hold any certifications (well, since 2001), and can't necessarily prove my worth.
Be careful where you get the examples to model yourself upon. For instance, you are in Canada and I think it is actually illegal to call yourself and engineer unless you are licenced. And as far as I know there is no licencing available for network engineers. Where I work, there is a distinction between the network designers who typically have CCIE certification, and the network operations roles which may or may not have certifications. The hot shot network guys are called 3rd level support. Speaking as someone who has often interviewed people, I think that job titles are pretty much inconsequential. --Michael Dillon Network Consultant
