So your job title was desktop support
And 4 different companies called you IT generalist? Sounds made up.

We've had this argument on here a few times. What does it matter what the company calls you? 90% of the time those title mean literally nothing and often don't apply to the job you actually did. IT Generalist is the correct descriptor for what @wirestyle22 did at those positions.

Because that's what recruiters would be looking at? They don't know the differences or not actual differences, so you're shooting yourself in the foot a bit by not using it for their sake.

I am not shooting myself in the foot by accurately describing my skill set and experience. I'd be shooting myself in the foot if I didn't do this though.

I'm only replying to that person's comment about job title. Its intended audience will be looking at job titles no matter if we as IT people recognise them the same. Continue accurately describing your skillset as you have, job title doesn't do that

Right but my point is that my job titles, although they are my "true" titles are not accurate and will give them the impression I am looking for a job I am not while also highlighting a skillset I don't have.

They may accurate for somebody actually looking for that job title, because they don't really get the difference. Whereas IT Generalist is a bit obscure as a title and would maybe have a higher chance of being ignored as they sift through piles of CVs.

Well I did say IT Generalist is a filler title currently, but it is in fact accurate to what I am doing

Apologies for missing that, as I said my original comment was a reply to someone else.

Previous job titles don't give an impression of the job you are looking for, merely a familiar title to encourage a recruiter or employer to look further. Have a small "about me" style section to accurately impress your goals and the job you want to go to.

Is there an easy way to "download" YouTube vids for offline viewing on Android?

Why not just make a playlist and watch them when you have the time (with internet connectivity)?

What a daft question responding to offline viewing options

I'd just rather not break ToS with Youtube. . . personally.

You aren't

Loads of apps if you search the Play Store

@StuartJordan said in How to select right router for 100 users or more?:

It's a shame that we don't have many suppliers in the UK that are selling the Edge Router.

How many suppliers do you need?

Any reason you can't bulk select in AD and tick the option to force change on next logon? Are there just that many different OUs that it'd take ages?

I don't know if this is true or not, but I'm hearing this is the case regarding Muslims in the UK. There are sections of the UK where the police don't even go because Sharia Law is taking over.

There are in fact areas the police are not able to patrol heavily. I grew up in Slough which now has areas where the police do not go unless they are in force and in riot gear, there are also parts of East London which are in a similar bad spot.

I was passing through Woolwich Arsenal, a massive fight had broken out....between 2 groups of angry white men....wearing different football uniforms.

Sharia law has nothing to do with it, its down to crime and vandalism, There are cases of gangs harassing women and individuals using "Sharia" as justification but they are in the minority.

Christianity also has its fair share of violent fools. Look at the Westboro baptist church.

Interesting to basically see confirmation of what I heard.
Of course evil things are do in the name of any/everything. Sharia is just the one I heard about.

Literally said Sharia Law has nothing to do with it. You was talking about Muslims but that has nothing to do with it either.

The rest described is just rough areas in general.

You said they used it as justification- regardless of how it's used the fact is that it was used.

Your statement said Sharia Law is taking over, that is not true. That is not the same as "some people" using it as justification.

Ok fine it's not taking over but it is why the police don't go in those areas unless in force - or at least the give excuse.

Those parts of his statement weren't related, there is harassment of the public with Sharia used as an excuse in the smallest of minorities. Remove Muslims from the UK and there would be no fewer of these areas where police don't feel safe to patrol.

I don't mind what you say about the police, but using your statement about Muslims with no idea of the actual situation seems stupid and targeted.

You need to stop following Donald Trump on Twitter

Thought I recognised that statement. Absolute bollocks.

@scottalanmiller Good afternoon! Getting to the close of my day.

A bit eerie in schools today. Everyone feeling horrified after last nights terrorist attack in our local city.

Hmm didn't think all those terms were exclusive to the UK!

"That's a shame. I have a quiet, relaxed afternoon at work so I was looking for things to read"

Now it makes sense that I use an accent.

Which accent have you gone for...
