[QUOTE="Setanta, post: 275782, member: 2183"] I went to UCLA back in 88-92, and at the time, the only computer related degree offered was called Computer Science and Engineering, which is a pretty high level degree and probably not comparable to a data processing degree. These days, most US universities are still a little deficient in IT education IMHO, but you're probably fine saying you have a bachelor's degree in Information Services. It's most often called a Help Desk here, so you could call yourself a Help Desk Techinician or something equivalent. You probably want to say something like "In depth working knowledge of PC operating systems and hardware, including server and workstation architectures, and (proceed to list all modern operating systems you're experienced with that you think might be relevant to your intended audience)." If you're looking to describe your duties as a help desk technician, it's fine to say something like "configured workstations for end users, including OS install, hardware configuration, network connectivity, and all software installation", assuming that's about what you did.
