hi teachers,
If i want to add more detail to my previous sentence, which conjunction or adverb is more appropriate?


For example
: I work as a VoIP expert, which stands for voice over Internet protocol, in a computer firm. In fact or on the other hand I have been working in the Internet service provider for seven years in IT department.

I am not sure my choices can be good ones.


Please help me.

Thanks.

Neither choice works well. I can't think of any natural filler words to use there - I'd just go on with the second sentence without any.

Thank you so much.
How about the revised versions?

Not quite. Try I have been working as a VoIP expert in the IT department of an internet service provider for seven years.​ Can you think of another way to describe the job? "Expert" is not a term people normally apply to themselves, and doesn't tell the reader anything about what your actual duties were.

Really? I didn't know about this term.

I don't know. I am not sure. What is an appropriate term?
Is VoIP specialist OK?
