How to Format a Business Analyst Resume
When choosing a resume format for a business analyst, begin by reflecting on your work experience and how your career has developed.
Most candidates should use a reverse-chronological resume format. In this format, work experience goes on the top half of the resume, beginning with your most recent job.
This format won’t work for everyone, however. Other candidates may want to consider a combinationation resume or a functional resume, both of which put greater emphasis on skills and abilities.
Take the candidates below, for example. Candidate A has been working as a business analyst for 15 years straight, taking on greater responsibilities as she moves from one employer to the next. Candidate B has a more checkered career path, starting her career as a freelancer, shifting to part-time work, then deciding to go back to freelancing.
