With IT or any computer field related resume I would say to not worry about the job or position title at all. Enter thing such as how long you did it, what hardware platform(s) you worked on and in detail what you did with them. Do the same with software, usually keeping applications/databases separate from the operating systems. Try to remember the size of any databases I.E. 10TB with 1200 users 24/7 with nightly hot backups. This database system was upgraded from Oracle 10.x to 11.x over the space of 9 months. Hiring managers (I was one) and those wanting a new job (I did that) want the details. Be careful of acronyms or abbreviations as they can become obsolete in a year of the job you did two years ago now has a nice catchy name that did not exist?


As example in 1999 I installed the first Windows server at a shipyard where I worked and installed an early version of the SAP monster application with nightly hot backups to an off line server. This systems supported 24 financial users and produced reports for US Federal Government contract administrators. The tot time from unpacking the server to coming on line was 3 months including a new data load.


Hope this helps.
