New Transition 

Hello, I have 10 years of administrative experience and I'm seeking the opportunity to transition from the administrative role into a business analyst position. I have a Bachelors in Business Management. Do you have any suggestions you can give me to get a starting position as an Analyst.

 

Thanks!

  • Pick up a couple of books on business analysis and begin your learning journey.  Check out: Modern Analyst Bookstore

I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
