  • This video is to help the business analyst prepare for the Business Analyst job interview questions and how to answer. Here I will outline some of the pre-interview call questions commonly asked on business analyst job applications.
    Business analyst interviews can be stressful, but there are things you can do to improve your chances of success. This is an example of how to perform well by answering the most common business analysis interview questions asked of senior business analysts.
    Like other videos featuring Rishi Poptani is a senior business analyst with close to 10 years of experience in the capital markets and Bridging the Gap's video on Business Analyst Interview Questions and Answers - How to Really Sell Your BA Skills - this video focusses on my experience doing business analyst interviews over many years.

  • @slash69100
    @slash69100 5 років тому +8

    Thanks for the tips! One thing you missed is " Tell me about Yourself" this is the core question asked by the hiring managers. Within 1 min window, the candidate needs to cover his/her recent work experience with the skills sets that matched the job descriptions. The answer to this question is very vital as it gives the hiring manager about your image.

    • @karaleise
      @karaleise  5 років тому +9

      Thanks for watching the video!
      Yes " Tell me about yourself" is a common question too. I think it is always unfortunate when the interview starts with this question though they often do. It is unfortunate because: 1. They have a resume with the person's information already 2. This is a terrible icebreaker because the candidate often is meeting the interviewing for the first time, what part of yourself do they really want to know? It doesn't help that it has to be quick as well. Best approach is what you said: sum up your recent or past work and make it relevant to the new job.
      I would also add in something personal to make myself stand out - like say, I have two poodles who I enjoy running with - or something like that.
      You would think people would find it easy to answer "Tell me about yourself" but when I'm the interviewer, I've found that candidates get more comfortable quicker when I start with " Tell me about your current job."
      Hopefully in the future interviewers will move away from starting interviews with this question - it is nerve racking for candidates and usually the interviewers get answers they already knew from the resume. Cheers!

      I think you mean case studies right? You can find case studies everywhere. Think of the last business you went to and did not receive a good service. What went wrong? and if you worked there as a business analyst, how would you improve the process? Here is a more specific example: say you got hired as a BA at Amazon and they want to add a gift wrapping service to the checkout page so you can pick the gift wrap design and put a personal note on a gift card as an add-on to your order, how would you go about handling this? These are examples of real time case studies that you can do using the ba tools and techniques. Read more on ba tools in this article:karaleise.com/business-analysis-techniques-for-new-bas/
