what's your job title & what do you actually do

I'm a Digital Forensic Analyst. Basically I search through seized computers looking for evidence

 

I'm bit-tech's Technical Editor, so I spent my working week getting in a hissy fit over hardware that doesn't work properly. I write the occasional thing too...

 

Its starting to be a bit too occasional...

Student.

 

It & Telecommunications Manager.

I look after the PC's/Network/Telephone system as well as technology controlled systems in a food manufacturer plant.

Perks of the Job:
Taste test every Tuesday & Thursday

 

Assistant Bar Manager -

I tell people what to do while doing nothing myself except flirting with hot customers/staff/photographs.

AH

 

IT Support Technician

i sit around on my ass looking at forums and playing games waiting for something to go wrong.

soon to do a network upgrade which will be cool

 

I'm an IT consoltant, which means I do just about everything from (occasionally)answering phones on the helpdesk to designing and building entire networks, remote access solutions (including international remote offices), but I spend about half my time being "rent an IT manager" for one of about a dozen clients who I visit between twice a week and once a quarter

 

I'm a systems support engineer for the enforcement & security division at my workplace.

Basically I go around & fix the Automatic Number Plate Reading systems (camera's / multiplexors / oracle DB / windows systems / our own bug-ridden software) for the police.

BTW it's nothing to do with speeding.!

 

Where?? How'd you get into it and where do i look for jobs in it?

 

Software Developer.

I mainly deal with PHP and SQL (My & MS), but also deal with XML (XSL, FO, XSD, etc), Javascript, Java, and whatever else my frantic managers ask me to write in order to make a better system.

 

Clinical Psychologist.

One job is as neuropsychologist; used to do brain injury rehabilitation but now I work in mental health and Deafness. The job there is partly neuropsychological assessment contributing to differential diagnosis (is it acquired brain injury --either recent or due to rubella, mumps, measles, meningitis, encephalitis or whatever as a child-- learning difficulties, psychosis or one of those weird congenital conditions that can coincide or result in deafness but also can affect brain development/function in a variety of ways?) and partly applying and advising on rehabilitation approaches. Some of it is "straightforward" mental health. I just finished an article ("Do Deaf Psychotic Patients Really Hear Voices?") and still have to churn out a book chapter on neuropsychological factors in challenging behaviour in deaf mental health patients...

Other job is as a Macmillan Clinical Psychologist working in the cancer services. I see people with cancer (some terminal) and their families, and support/advise staff. It involves working with chronic pain, traumatic stress reactions, adjustment reactions etc. It's not as depressing as it sounds.

I am about to take on a third part-time post in neuropsychological assessment of chronic fatigue syndromes, as part of a new service researching its nature and pioneering new treatment approaches.

Before that I worked in community mental health. I saw mainly people with personality disorder and eating disorders, or long-standing depression/anxieties.

 

There's a company in Stratford-upon-Avon, where i live, and my friend who works there told me they were hiring trainees. I had no experience in digital forensics before, but i beat a load of other applicants to get the job. Been here 8 months now, and thoroughly enjoying it!

As for looking for jobs, we may be hiring in 6 months time or so, i'll pm you our web address. You might also try a few of the forums out there like this one or this one.

 

snap, tho my official title i believe is "shift manager grade 2"
oh and during the week we don't have all that many customers under the age of about 50 so the flirting is minimal and confined pretty much to friday nights, which i never get off work.

funfunfun

 

Have you managed to get any action from those Photographs?
Remember, use protection..... Wouldn't want to get a papercut!

 

high school student

-Keep the house clean ( as if!), fix the odd computer here and there for some pocket money

 

My official title is: IT Administrator, My Personal Title (what I like to think of myself as): Trainee System Administrator

I basically support all our PCs and Servers (Win2k, WinXP, Netware, Linux mainly), but it involves all sorts, recently had to work the weekend migrating the entire network to a new premesis, soon I hope to be doing a major network upgrade (new switches, mmm). Pretty much anything with a circuit board that doesn't do what it's supposed to comes my way (Faxes, printers, phone system, etc).

Oh and I think of myself as a Trainee Sys Admin because I tend to break things as I don't get much proper training (eg: Boss: "Here's a server with Lotus Domino on, please administer it." Me: "OK, but I've never used or seen Lotus Domino before." Boss: "Good.") So I tend to do a lot of RTFMing, and learning from mistakes.

 

Wanadoo Tech CSR -

I help n00bs

 

I work in the Configuration Management Office for the International Space Station. Basically, my job is to ensure that all of the different NASA organizations are working from the same documents.

I'm trying desperately to get into the graphic design team. One of my life goals is to design a mission patch. (Yes, I'm a nerd, so I have nerdy goals )

Don't get me wrong, I didn't stare at 13" monitors all day (well, night) long. I was in a control room which was intentionally designed after the bridge of the Starship Enterprise. There were 3 rows of color monitors all in sort of cabinets behind smoked glass in a semi-circle with a big one (about 36") dead center which automatically switched between monitoring of the mainframes to the hard line status to the status of the satellite dishes. It was a pretty sweet setup, but it was REAL boring, except on Thursdays when we did QA testing. We had a mix of VMS, VM and CICS...
