What should a business analyst resume include?
A business analyst resume needs to show that you can turn messy business problems into clear requirements that developers and users accept. Recruiters in India look for domain knowledge such as banking, insurance or retail, documents like BRDs and user stories, tools such as Jira, SQL and Visio, and proof that your work changed a process or a product.
Skills recruiters look for:
- Requirement elicitation and workshops
- BRD, FRD and user story writing
- Process mapping in BPMN
- Gap and impact analysis
- User acceptance testing
From our sample resumes:
- Prerna’s internship bullets name the documents she produced, user stories, process maps and UAT scenarios, which is exactly what a BA hiring manager wants to see from a fresher.
- Sandeep pins his domain in the first line of the summary: payments, lending and policy systems, so banks and insurers can tell he already speaks their language.
