        Usually the issue of short title arises when you have titles lesser then 30 characters including spaces. I don’t think there will be a bigger impact if you resolve this issue unless you include some title that really hit it off from the SEO and keyword perspective.

        The reason I believe you should be resolving this issue is because title contain a heavy weight as far as the ranking signals are concern and upon resolving the overall impact on your rankings will be positive (In my experience you should not expect a huge impact).

        Hope this helps!

          Hi there! I agree with Moosa. The title element is an important on-page SEO element (second only to the content itself) that impacts your search rankings.

          It's important to understand that it not only tells search engines what your page is about, but people, too. In the search results and on social networks, people scan titles to find what they are looking for. As such, both the title element and meta description should accurately describe your page, compel people to click through to it, and use the keywords the page is optimized for.

          For more information on how and why you should spend time carefully crafting a great title element, study this: http://moz.com/learn/seo/title-tag.

          Hope that helps!

          Christy

            The titles of those pages are Telecom and Sports, respectively. Neither title really tells either Google or the searcher what the pages are about.

            Telecom could be a page for a telecom service company or telecom equipment. Sports could be a sporting goods store or a guide to sport programs on television. You are not making it easy for Google to know what category you belong in.

            For your website, it looks like "Career Options in Telecom" or "Career Counseling for Sports" or something of that nature would do a better job in identifying what your site is about.
