Systems Analyst. Very encompassing. I've seen it describe pretty much every role in IT.

Systems Analyst is directed more towards the design and creation of projects within IT

it is a well known fact that using objective is very bad b/c it limits your ablity to move to different jobs and has to be rewrote everytime you apply for a job that ins't inline with the current objective on the resume......



i should have a section for resumes ....lol

-LAN Administrator
-Network Specialist
-Definitely NOT Desktop Support, Technical Support Analyst, PC Support Technician, Help Desk!

Depending on the size of the company you could jump right into a Net Admin position, it depends on the requirements. Managing network hardware, VLANS, domain servers, policies, email servers, Web servers, and file & print servers should have all been covered in your network emphasis. That's no-brainer network admin requirements. It's when you get to administer Citrix, Oracle, SQL Server, Unix/Linux, VoIP, InfoSec and various other organization specific servers that the experience becomes necessary. Good luck with the job hunt.

Thanks Keenon and Judd, Im just going to remove the objective all together. It is optional -

your welcome.. . for an opening use a summary that is a short highlight of your skills only to be further communicated within the body of the resume

I concur, perhaps search for examples of Net Tech/Admin resumes to get ideas of what the industry norm is, and then tailor yours to suit your strong areas.
