Sharepoint Jobs Questions 

I have been working for my current company for about 4 years now. I started off as a help desk analyst, but quickly busted my butt and studied and got promoted to Senior Help Desk Analyst about 2 years or so ago.

Thing is that they said they want me to do alot of tasks relating to engineering and administrator functions. They said that I would get a job title with Associate Systems/Network Engineer, but that was like two years ago. When I ask them about it now, they keep avoiding the situation and are complete asses about it all. I am getting screwed in the pay also, and thinking that maybe if they bump me up to that title, they will have to pay me more.

I mean I am doing a huge things not help desk related ranging from a huge VMWare Ace rollout to thousands of computers, and lots of VMWare server ESX migrations and administration. I also assisted in other tasks such as making the whole 4 story building wireless ready and implementing/configuring WAP points. Recently I have been in charge of the help desk (basically manager over 15 help desk reps) and tons other duties including lots of a range of subjects related to everything imaginable. The good thing about working for a company with about 6000 workers I guess.

I am not the only person they are screwing. The main SDE service desk admins and sharepoint admin left the company a couple weeks ago, and they took one of my coworkers and gave him both responsibilities of SDE and Sharepoint admin. This is obviously alot of work for both responsibilities to have someone do, and they are keeping his title as "Help Desk Analyst" and refuse to change his title. Again probably cause they are paying him help desk salary and they are cheap and dont want to bump him up in scale.

Question is, I spend 30 hours a week studying a wide array of materials ranging from OS to Vmware to Cisco networking and honestly if you see the things I am doing for the title "help desk" is unbelievable.

How does all this work, for when another company wants to call my current employer. They will call and see that my title is help desk analyst. Like they are going to believe me when I put all the things I do on the job. Can they even ask my current employer what my current job title is or what I do?

Any help or tips would be great

Thanks

Little bit about myself.

-> Programmer with over 4 years of financial market experience in NYC.
-> Expert knowledge of C#, Asp.Net, Sql Server 2005, and Sharepoint 2007
-> Masters in Computer Science from NYU.

I want to emigrate to the UK but I want to get a job first and then move there instead of going there and then looking for jobs - helps me apply for work permit before hand.

Whats the best way of doing this? Anyone has had any experience doing this before hand?

I have an issue...
I work for a company and recently got promoted to SDE/Sharepoint admin. I worked for about 1 year as a help desk analyst and was made a sharepoint admin recently and have been working on our site. They had me under the impression they were creating a job position for me working as sharepoint admin. We just recently lost our Service Desk Admin and they made me the new one. I received no increase or title change. I sent a concerned email to my supervisor but he pretty much avoided answering any of my concerns and kept saying that it is a great oppurtunity

I want to convert a word document to pdf format. It should happen programatically from my SharePoint document libraries (or VB.Net application). I am looking for some APIs or Classes that will do this job without any manual interaction. Any APIs available in the market? Pls. suggest me.

I was told Thursday to bring source code for an interview on Monday. Basically, most of the code I have is web stuff (asp .net, SharePoint web parts, javascript) which would have nothing to do with the job and some of my older code in C++ is just horrible. I do have a grades calculator in C# but it just seems to junior, but it's the only piece of code I have that has a good OOP feel to it. I was planning to do a presentation and go through the entire SDLC of the code (including a flow chart of the input & output in Visio) but I keep thinking this is too junior. I'm sure the main goal of this was to see if I code a lot in my spare time but that's impossible with 2 kids at home. I should have asked them to give me some requirements for a program they would want to see but it's too late for all of that. Shoud I continue with the Grades Calculator presentation or do something else?

Job 1: Developer role, large bank, 6 month contract that will likely be extended, working with .NET, not the most exciting work, not much room to grow to a senior position, pay is between $1700 and $2000 per week depending on hours worked (overtime/weekends are sometimes required)

Job 2: Technical lead role, large IT services provider, permenant, working with .NET and possibly Sharepoint, Silverlight, etc, working with a lot of different clients on web-based projects, could grow to team lead then project manager, pay is around $1200 per week, hours are 9-5.
