Hi Patrick,

Tis is Raga, I need some help in getting in BA career. I am a Btech mechanical engineer with 2 years experience in QA and testing, recently achieved PMIs CAPM certification, with a hope to get into PMO. But somehow didn't work. Just now I am done with my trainning in Business Analysis and got familiar with the techniques such as JAR/JAD/Interview techniques for requirement gathering, preparing BRD, UML diagramming techniques using tools like IBM Rational Rose, Enterprise Architecture, Visio and also got familiar with UAT concepts like how to coordinate UAT. What should be my next step. I am good at Project management concepts, good at communicating with various cross functional stakeholders, good at technology front..but lacks the experience in this particular field...Please give me tips on landing on my Dream Job.

Thanks & Regards,

Raga

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for responding to my query. I greatly appreciate your help. As all my experience and education is done in India, I dont have much IT related experience here in USA. Although I am a Greencard Holder and did my CAPM,I dont know anybody or any consultancy comapny that would help me marketing for PMO positions. Known friends suggested BA and so instead of waiting on, I went ahead and joined IT Business Analysis trainning, from one of the local trainning consultancy comapany. I was trained in what sort of tools and techniques you would use for requirement gathering and management, UML modeling design techniques that would aid in preparing Funcitional Design spec, like identifying usecases, preparing use case narratives, preparing use case diagrams, activity diagrams, sequence diagrams, wireframes using tools like IBM Rational Rose, Rational Requisite Pro, Enterprise Architecture, Visio. Now I am looking forward to proceed to next step which I am not sure in what I should be doing to land on Jr.BA or related role. I need help in going ahead from here.

Thanks & Regards,

Raga.
