BA Career 

I'm currently working as an IT Technical Recruiter and trying to switch my career in to BA. I had done a BA course initially and was not provided any certificate, but ended up working as a recruiter for past 4 years. Now i want to become a BA. 

It would be great is some one can suggest me on how to apply and become a BA. I'm trying to learn more about MS Visio.  Should i have some business scenarios to work on MS Visio? I need guidance and help.

Thank you in advance

Re: BA Career 

Switching from an IT Recruiter to BA can be tough.  Knowing more about your goals would help.

  • Why do you think you want to switch careers? 
  • Do you understand the role of a BA well?
  • Do you know what skillset is typically required? 
  • What kind of BA work do you think you would enjoy most?

In the end, you need to have some basic BA related skills to get a job and it will likely be entry level to get started.  Visio is just a tool.  Yes, it's used quite often in the BA world so understanding it can help, but first you need to understand the core of what a BA does.  Various forms of requirements elicitation and documentation are a must.  What was the course you took 4 years ago and what did it cover.  Do you have the course outline?

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...
Now, I know, I don’t know what kind of new intro BPO may require, but at least I can promise you upfront that I have something different to say about Business Process Outsourcing or simply BPO. What is it? This hasn't been a call center job or a sales job as we all think. It is a mammoth profile, and firms are grappling to ge...
