Questions about Job Titles

  • Hello,

    I had an interesting conversation yesterday with someone that was trying to help me find a new opportunity doing SQL Server work. The person I talked with described my responsibilites back to me in terms I had not considered before, and I wondered whether or not I had expressed myself on my resume as well as I could have.

    What I would like to know is how you would define the following job titles, and what responsibilites you would ascribe to each:

    1. Database Designer

    2. Database Architect

    3. Database Developer

    4. Database Administrator

    In my capacity, I handle what I think of as both the development and DBA responsibilites. I also create the client interfaces for the database applications I make (which includes interfaces for input and reports), create DTS packages (import and clean up data between SQL Server 2000 and a DB4 system, and sometimes MS Access), handle all SQL Server security issues, and support the end users. I'm involved in the entire cycle of every project I do.

    I've got resumes out there, but I don't feel like I've nailed down my professional identity as well as I could have. Are there also web resources that could help me?

    Thanks for any input you could offer!

    What is DB4 ? Is that a clustered DB2 system ?
