Tips for getting started 
Modified By Chris Adams  on 4/27/2024 12:02:55 PM)

Hi everyone, I'm a recent graduate in business strategy and management and I'm 28 years old. I would like to start a career as a business analyst, however the problem is that I have developed few related skills during my studies. I had very short experiences in different sectors, 1 month in a bank, 1 month as an inventory employee in a chamber of commerce and 1 month as an accountant in a store. in your opinion, can these experiences which are distant from the reference sector be viewed badly by employers? in recent months, to have a bit of credibility, I took the coursera google advanced data analytics certificate (only later did I see that there was the basic one, but there I did it anyway), but I know that it's not enough to have an important knowledge of the sector, in fact my CVs continue to be rejected. so what I ask myself is: what is the most useful thing I can do? I was thinking of getting the ECBA issued by the IIBA, which from what I understand is more recognized and carries more weight. It's really like this? what should I do?

Employers value analytical skills, adaptability and hands-on exposure to different industries, so your experience can't be a drawback. A Google Advanced Data Analytics certification is a great place to start, and taking the ECBA certification from IIBA is really helpful - it's well known and designed for those entering the business analytics field. Also, if you focus on building a portfolio with projects, case studies or data analytics, it can showcase your capabilities.

In today's fast-paced digital world, successful projects aren't just built on great code—they're built on clarity. And that clarity often comes from one key player: the Business Analyst.

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...
