Maybe I should get a new title?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Craig was kind enough to send me a couple of articles about the hot job titles to have, “Business Technologist” aka “IT Business Technologist” or “IT Business Analyst”

Eweek

Hmm, since every time I open my mouth in my office I’m technically communicating with non-IT people about IT, and trying to take their problems and find technical solutions to them, maybe I should look into upgrading my job title. It sounds a whole lot better than IT Specialist!

Yeah I know, I shouldn’t complain about IT Specialist, up until a year ago my job title was Database Administrator. IT Specialist is twenty times more accurate than that!

Thanks Craig!
