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!

    Blasphemy

    Turns out the speed didn’t stay quite that high so the download will finish sometime this evening. No biggie, since the only CD-R’s I have in the office are 650MB anyway. I would have had to wait until I go home and grab a 700MB and burned tomorrow if it had finished by 5PM. 🙂…

    I forgot to mention the other omen that this is going to be a real good week. Later yesterday, after I posted that stuff, I discovered that someone had thrown a rock and broken one of the windows on the second floor of our office building. The window is in an empty office so no…

    If you use My Yahoo! and want to use it as a news aggregator you can just click Add to My Yahoo! and start it up. It’s nowhere near as flexible as other aggregators but it requires no downloading or installation. Maybe it’s a step toward more wide-spread use of RSS? (link via Library Stuff)…

  • Good news, bad news

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    The good news is, I know, without a doubt, that our weekly tape backups have all been good for over a month now, and I won’t even have to do my normal, routine tests to determine that. The bad news? Well, I think you can probably guess now that you know I spent some quality…

  • Using technology to your advantage

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I’m not sure, but I think it’s probably not a good sign when I get an email from my wife half-way through a fantasy football draft that asks “who have you condemned to injury or jail this year?”. Granted, given the recent history of watching a football player’s career take a sudden turn for the…

  • Why?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I have a question. If you’re a tech recruiter, or know a tech recruiter can you help me out? I want to know, when you’re a tech recruiter, why do you contact people without even looking at their resume first, and why do you lie about the job you’re calling about? Seriously, last week I…
