Try this and let me know if it works.
  
List<contact> conlist= new list<contact>();
contact obj = new contact();
obj.FirstName = 'joe';
obj.LastName = 'provide last name';
obj.Department = 'Finance';
conlist.add(obj);

obj = new contact();
obj.FirstName = 'kathy';
obj.LastName = 'provide last name';
obj.Department = 'Technology';
conlist.add(obj);

obj = new contact();
obj.FirstName = 'caroline';
obj.LastName = 'provide last name';
obj.Department = 'Finance';
conlist.add(obj);

obj = new contact();
obj.FirstName = 'kim';
obj.LastName = 'provide last name';
obj.Department = 'Education';
conlist.add(obj);
insert conlist;

list<contact> lstUpdate = new list<contact>();
for(contact con: conlist)
{
    if(con.Department=='Finance')
    {
        con.Title='Financial Analyst';
    lstUpdate.add(con);
}
}
update lstUpdate;

List<contact> conlist= new list<contact>();
contact obj = new contact();
obj.FirstName='joe';
obj.LastName='smith';
obj.Department='Finance';

conlist.add(obj);

obj = new contact();
obj.FirstName='kathy';
obj.LastName='smith';
obj.Department='Technology';

conlist.add(obj);

obj = new contact();
obj.FirstName='caroline';
obj.LastName='roth';
obj.Department='Finance';

conlist.add(obj);

obj = new contact();
obj.FirstName='kim';
obj.LastName='shane';
obj.Department='Education';

conlist.add(obj);



insert conlist;

list<contact> lstUpdate = new list<contact>();
for(contact con: conlist)
{
    if(Department=='Finance')
    {
        con.Title='Financial Analyst';
    lstUpdate.add(con);
}
}
update lstUpdate;




This is the same, as you shared.
