Why this example works
- The intake redesign shows an analyst result, a faster process, instead of a list of tasks.
- Counts of processes, staff and stories give scale for the analysis work.
- Acceptance testing shows the analyst follows work through to release.
- Moving from support to junior analyst to analyst gives a clear path.
How to write your own business analyst resume
- Describe the process you changed and the time, cost or error result.
- Give the numbers: stakeholders, processes mapped and requirements written.
- Show how you talk to both business teams and developers.
- Mention testing and release work, since many analysts are judged on it.
- Name the tools you use for requirements, tracking and data.
- Describe the industry setting, because domain knowledge helps hiring.

Common questions
What is the difference between a business analyst and a data analyst on a resume?
A business analyst is judged on requirements and process change, while a data analyst is judged on data work. Show the one that fits the job.
Can a small piece of work prove analysis ability?
Use a smaller piece of work with a clear before and after, such as one process mapped and one step removed.
Should I list a methodology such as agile?
Yes, if you have worked in it. Say how you used it, such as writing stories or running reviews, not only the name.
