Hi Paramita,

Great questions! I address the questions of certifications and transitioning to a BA career in-depth in the Quick Start to Success workshop – in much more depth than I could do in a comment here.

I am professional with over 6 years of work experience. I was a HR professional in last 5 years. I also played a role of HR Analyst. I would like to start my career as Business Analyst. I have completed Higher diploma in Business System Analysis and Design in 2019. I am currently unemployed and am looking for job opportunity as BA.
I need your guidance to start my career as BA.

I have decided to do certification from IIBA. Could you please suggest me which one should I opt for between ECBA and CCBA? Which one would add more value to my profile?

How can I use my HR experience to build a career as BA?

What is the real scope of getting a job of BA without having any experience on it?

Hi Katrina, I will definitely be talking more about creating job opportunities during this time. Yes, many businesses have slowed decision making as they adjust to this current situation, but it’s a great sign that you were getting interviews before the pandemic. That will come back. In the meantime, focus on building your skills and experience. For example look for opportunities to help a local business you could help define their strategy for rebounding or getting online, even if it’s a bit of volunteer work for now.
