I have a pretty vague job title at my company, but I do a lot of system administration-like tasks. My responsibilities include tech support, configuring devices, managing user accounts in Active Directory, and automating tasks with PowerShell and Python. I also handle some database updates and write documentation. It's not exactly high-level work, but I'm not just a Tier 1 support tech either. I'm unsure if I should market myself as a system administrator on my resume, given that my title doesn't reflect my actual duties. Any advice?

You can definitely include Sys Admin on your resume as long as you can back it up in an interview. Responsibilities are key—if you manage users and automate tasks, that falls under sysadmin work. Just be ready to explain what you did in detail during interviews, especially as roles become clearer with cloud-based systems.
Exactly! Just be prepared. It sounds like you're more than just a basic tech support role.
