Does anyone work as Business Analyst? Help!

变化无声

Hi everyone,

I have two years experiences working as SAP support analyst in China. I have been looking for a similar position for months but still no hope. Currently I just receive an email from a job agent asking me whether I am interested in Business analyst position. I really do not know whether I should take this opportunity. The most of my responsibilities in my former position were providing user support in business processes in modules and a bit of Basis administration. The most B.A. related tasks that I done was gathering business information from stakeholders and configuring modules to meet business requirements during the SAP implementation projects.

The one of major things bothering me is that I am not confident enough for the BA position because the Language. As I know, as a BA, communication skills come first rather than anything else. That's why I am so hesitated to apply the BA position. Second, the projects I have done were small (integrate new business processes and enhance the existing business processes) and the business analysis part I done only contained very small portion of the whole projects.

If there is any BA out there, please give me some advice and tell me how you work as a BA.

Thank you very much

Agree. But thats majorly what they do.

So, prepare for and keep talking.

thanks for the input!

I won't worry too much if the position was in China. But now it scares me off!

I know I am not a very strong communicator. I have been to an interview few month ago for a junior BA, the guy who interviewed me was very concerned about my communication skills even my technical and business knowledge were good enough. So even I thought the interview was ok, it ended up unpleasantly.

我老公是BA, 不过工作不是talking, talking and talking吧... 做的多的是商务系统的分析. LZ可以从BA的技术方面走.
