For anyone out there who are interested in BA job. Business Analyst is not a technical job like a Java programmer. Be very careful what you put on your resume. Main thing for any BA is to really know the domain. Meaning, if you have Banks in your resume, you better know few stuff about banking. If you put Healthcare, you should know something about HIPAA and so on. Every BA job is different since every business works differently. It's all about your confidence. Anyone can take any training and get a job. I have seen taxi drivers with no IT experience take Oracle ERP training and get a job. I have seen someone with management background take QA training and get a job as Automation QA engineer. So it all depends on you. How good are you in talking during an interview.... How well you know your stuff on your resume. My suggestion to anyone who is interested in taking training and getting a job is, give your 100%, really learn the stuff and think in your mind that you have actually done it. Where there is a will, there is a way. Nothing is impossible. BTW...midwestdude...how many years of actual BA exp. do you have? Maybe we can keep in touch and share few ideas.
