What is your job title or what do you call yourself? 2

[mickaloha]

I am a systems administrator who also supports our PBX and I am trying to find a job title that incorporates both of my primary functions at work. Looking on the web doesn't yield much information though so I came to the source. I thought about converged telecom engineer but I was thinking that there might be an industry title out there already that maybe I am not aware exists. Any information that you have regarding matter would be great. Thank you in advance for any information provided.

Telecom Specialist - better know as the "phone guy"

 

[mikeydidit]

The state always has a different way of doing things (not necessarily better just different). Here their are several titles that you could consider telecomm/networking. These begin with Electronic Technician Trainee, Electronic Technician, and Electronic Technician Supervisor. The phone man still works for me though.

Although when I attempt to explain my job to others, I get a blank look, and then they say &quot;Oh! You mean that you're the telephone operator!&quot;
