Business Systems Analyst Resume

Start your resume with a full name, job title, and current contact information. Following this, your resume should be laid out in a simple format that begins with the most relevant information related to the job.

Your summary should be a motivating paragraph added to the top of your resume to draw the screener's attention. In under four sentences, briefly write about your experience, background, and interesting personal facts. You'll want to highlight your analytical and technical skills by using evocative words and action verbs to help the screener better envision you in the role.

The role of a business systems analyst requires both technical and soft skills, and screeners will want to ensure candidates possess both attributes. Before listing your skills, analyze the job descriptions' responsibilities and requirements, and base the order of your skills list on what the employer is most interested in.

Include all your previous job experience related to the work of a business systems analyst or any jobs that have responsibilities or skills required for a business systems analyst position. Be sure to add job titles, dates of employment, and locations.

In reverse chronological order, list your qualifications and include the dates of attendance, the institution's name, and location. If you're currently studying, add "in progress" by the dates of attendance section. To be considered for the role of a business systems analyst, you should be in possession of a bachelor's degree in business, computer science, or a similar field.

Additional training is a great benefit and will show the screener that you're willing to go the extra mile. There are a host of business analytics certification courses available for candidates with different levels of expertise, including:

• IIBA Certification of Competency in Business Analysis (CCBA).
• IIBA Agile Analysis Certification (AAC).
• IIBA Entry Certificate in Business Analysis (ECBA).
• IIBA Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP).

Ending off your resume, you'll want to dedicate a section to your greatest career achievements that showcase what you've been able to accomplish and the recognition you've received for that hard work. Whether it's awards and/or positive feedback from previous mentors, add these milestones to your resume in bullet format, and if needed, briefly discuss how you obtained this recognition.
