The purpose of a business analyst’s resume is not to get you a job. In fact. its purpose is to get you to the interview stage so that you can convince the employer that you are right for the job.
In your resume, mentioning your background and experience is necessary if you want to succeed in today’s world.
As a personal introduction to a potential employer, the resume has to convey a lasting impression and this is only possible if you successfully answer these three questions:
• Where am I sending it?
• Who will receive it?
• How will it be read and reviewed?
The anatomy of a well-written resume for a business analyst position borders on being concise, logically organized, and attractive. Something like the resume sample provided below:
