Agreed, should rip that out and just have the experience requirement.
-
A degree is not necessary. Certifications amd/or experience will substitute it. I don't have a degree and I was hired

It said OR certs.
-
Why does a network administrator care about Windows servers. Sounds like the wrong title.

The way it is worded does promote the degree more than I think you mean it to. People are so used to seeing that and either giving up because they lack it or turning you down because they don't want to work for a place that requires it. If it isn't required, I wouldn't have it say that it kind of is. Only makes it harder for you to find good people having it worded that way.

Very much. Windows experience for a Network Admin doesn't make any sense. There is no overlap between Windows and networking.

An incorrect, fancy title. Fancy is one thing, but a title that means something different is something else.
Secretaries being called Office Managers or Executive Assistants is fancy. Secretaries being called Executives is incorrect.
Strangely, secretary is a far more prestigious title a lot of places than assistant.

Third highest position in the US is the Secretary of State, not the Assistant of State.

Here is the first line:
The Network Administrator 1, is responsible for keeping the network computing systems operating effectively....
The title is network but the role is working on systems, not on the network.
-
Not working on systems though (servers) as a systems position would be. It's desktop and printers only. So yes, Desktop Technician sounds like a better title. Likely certs for this, I am getting, are MCP, A+, Network+, etc. ?

I didn't write the job description or title. I am just sharing it.
Yeah its basically an IT Technician that pays more like a network admin.

What's the pay range? Network Admin is like $65K on the low end, I think.

I don't know for sure, but the salary in the Orlando area is lower than the national average. I think its a similar to that position pay wise.

OK, that's one example.. can you give us 3 more? I say three, but it seems likely you have at least one more ready to shoot.

$55K and Orlando might make sense. Orlando is pretty cheap on the pay scale.

Other than the obvious, like secretary of defense?

Secretary General of the United Nations

OK these are all military/gov't titles so far... so lets move away from them.. since those titles are most likely 200 years old give or take.
Modern titles where someone is called Secretary and people give respect instead of possible disdain.
