Career Forums

I join this site because I just started my career as a business analyst, I have worked at different companies as a project coordinator and I decided to switch to business analysis since it's what I'd wanted to do. I enjoy being in control, solving problems and facing challenges. I have taken up several texts and tutorials. I have competences in major modelling tools and various techniques.

I have however been trying to get job as a business analyst for the past 3 months, but all efforts proved abbortive. I kept receiving response like: You're a brilliant chap but we found a suitable candidate, Your approach is not strong enough, and so on. I'm a bit confused but I'm not giving up at all. I must win.

I found out that I need live experience to be able to convince employers that I can perform excellently in any situation. I'm a confident guy and I need assistance to be able to pass interview. It's getting frustrating. Someone please help me.

Hi Akin,

I also agree with craig as getting first BA job is never easy, due to is role and differentiated resposibilities accross the industry it has.

I also enter in this profession 2 years ago after passing my masters, I don't know about the situation of BA openings in ur country, but here

in India the opportunity is scanty. I tried for 3-4 months to get a breakthrough but as I was freshers no body entertained me. At last I kept 

my patience and got some exposures on analytical skills, application development process through training in real enviroment,

Active discussion participations and SAD. For getting first job as BA, I was nearly questioned and interviewed (written and mock) for 6 hours

at a strech and I have done it. So what can I say that don't loose heart if u have strong desire u will get it.
