3 mistakes business analyst resumes make

  1. “Liaised with stakeholders”

    It tells nobody what you delivered. Name the documents (BRDs, user stories, process maps), how many, and which team or product they were for.

  2. Leaving the domain out

    Business analyst roles are filtered by domain, whether BFSI, healthcare or e-commerce. Put yours in the headline and the first bullet so you aren't screened out as “no relevant experience”.

  3. No before and after

    “Improved the process” is not a result. “Cut claim approval time from five days to two” is. Pair each major bullet with a number a manager can check.
