Business Analyst Interview Questions & Answers

Business analyst interview questions & answers

This book is written to enable business analysts to succeed in the job interviews. This book covers general, business analysis core skills and situational interview questions with suggested answers.
In my professional career, I have interviewed 100s of IT professionals at different levels. I came across several professionals, who could not answer questions as effectively as I would have liked. Even though, I can make out that they knew the answers but could not structure them well.
