I never thought about my job description until recently where I had to fill some forms about my job skills.

Does the Term IT consultant apply to wide range of jobs in the IT industry?

What technical background IT consultant must have?

Does the term Systems Analyst and Consultant encompasses IT Consultant?

In the website of The Human Resource and Social Development of Canada:
http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC-CNP/app/checkversion.aspx?lc=e&level=4&noccode=2171&code=2

There are various job titles listed under Systems Analyst and Consultant, I really think they need to be more precise on their job descriptions of various job tiles they have listed under Systems Analyst and Consultant.

What is the best way to define your title in the IT field? Any suggestions?

Thank you

IT Consultant is such a widely varying title. You can have that title and only know how to fix PCs. You might only be a programmer. You might only know Windows and not Unix, and vice-versa.

This is where you would just want to state what you know. Be descritpive about OS and program skills. Perhaps you're an Exchange or SQL admin as well as a Windows server admin. Perhaps you are a Linux Web administrator with web programming skills.

The Consultant tag is too vague.
