Early-career Business Analysts often hear the same advice: “Tailor your resume.” “Network more.” “Get certified.” But what actually works when you’re trying to land your first BA role?
This session takes a different approach.
Instead of a traditional panel, you’ll participate in a live “Fishbowl” discussion featuring professionals who have successfully navigated the challenge of breaking into the field—alongside perspectives from those still on the journey.
Together, we’ll explore:
- What really makes candidates stand out
- How to demonstrate experience when you don’t have any
- The realities of networking, interviews, and rejection
A fishbowl is not ‘just another panel’ – this is a technique you can use to deep dive into requirements elicitation.
