A business analyst resume should trace requirements through to results: the processes you improved, the people you aligned, and the value that came out the other end.
What a strong Business Analyst resume includes
- A summary of domains, methods, and tools
- Bullets tying requirements work to outcomes
- Skills across analysis, documentation, and BI
- Process improvements with measurable savings
