Job Titles for people that work with Access (1 Viewer)

[Groundrush]

Hi All,

What type of job titles do people generally hold that work with Access databases?

I used to be down as an ICT admintrator but that will be changing shortly
& I'm hoping to get something more suitable to what I do.

I'm going to be classed as Senior Administration Officer but that doesn't set me apart from the other admin staff that do not support databases.

1. Administrative Assistant
2. Consultant and Software Developer
3. Data Control Engineer
4. Data Reporting Specialist
5. Finance Technician
6. IT Support Officer
7. IT Systems Supervisor/Quality Manager
8. Operations Analyst
9. Programmer II
10. Senior Executive Technical Support Engineer
11. Senior Special Agent
12. Software Developer
13. Support Technician
14. Technical Analyst
15. Quality Control Analyst

I am an "IT Officer"

I was tempted to suggest "Organ Grinder's Monkey" on my last review when they refused anything that actually represented what I do.

What about
Senior Administrator of Data Managment
Senior Administration And Database managment Officer
Senior Data Administration Officer
Senior Database Administrator

I'm a GIS/Database Specialist
Though some days I feel like a "Stare at the screen aimlessly while my brain explodes....specialist"

I think most people that work with Access are likely to be an "Analyst" role. In my last job, I was an "MIS Analyst." In this one, I am an "Analytics Analyst" that is currently in training to be a DBA up to company standards. Sadly, I don't get to work much with Access anymore. I get to explore the SQL Server and SSRS world now.

I'm thinking of a Data Analyst.....What do you all think?

We are supposed to be moving away from Access but 4 years down the line I am still waiting for them to stop using my database

In the meantime they should give me a suitable title for what I am currently involved in.

When they eventually pull the plug then I would probably be involved in whatever system they decide to replace Access with so I guess the job title would hopefully still apply.

That's a good one as well.

Well, for a while I signed myself as "Senior Systems Janitor" because of having to clean up everyone else's messes.

After that, I often introduced myself as a computer prostitute because I was willing to get into bed and do strange things to your computer. But when I started working for the government, I found out that the Dept. of Defense managers have absolutely no sense of humor whatsoever.

Technically at my current position, I'm a Network Engineer III, but I'm doing system administration as my primary job, with a little bit of Access on the side.

The only name I hope they always get right is the payee on my check. As long as it isn't excessively vulgar (and "excessively" IS an operative word here), I'll answer to just about any title.

The really sad thing about fixing up other people's messes is those that who determine the value of your work generally haven't a clue what kind of talents it takes to do that kind of job.

A few months ago a colleague screwed up badly and lost a substantial piece of the database that controls our document archival system. His mistake had caused the failure of the backups and only when he tried to restore a database he had (foolishly) deleted did he realise several weeks of records (many thousands) were completely missing. We still had the documents but no indexes.

I wrote a system to regenerate the index records directly from the files. This was a very complex task an I am sure nobody really had any idea of the problems I had to solve dealing with many types of files, different indexing systems, recovering the page count from custom formatted text files and reparsing some to build their index again from scratch.

Deciphering the codes used in the indexes was a task in itself. It was made all the harder by the poorly structured commercial database used by the system.

Maybe they will give me a better title next review but I doubt it.

Senior Dossier Analyst.. Sounds WAY Fancy.. and it's still kinda correct

You have a singular wit, Doc

System and Procedures Analyst II, but that is only because we do not 'officially' support Access, even though there probably over an 100 Access DB's throughout the organization. We are trying (ever so slowly) to at least convert the backend of the DB's to MS-SQL.

"MI Analyst", guess Americans will call that a "Data Analyst".
