How to Format a Business Analyst Resume
When choosing a resume format for a business analyst, begin by reflecting on your work experience and how your career has developed.
Most candidates should use a reverse-chronological resume format. In this format, work experience goes on the top half of the resume, beginning with your most recent job.
This format won’t work for everyone, however. Other candidates may want to consider a combinationation resume or a functional resume, both of which put greater emphasis on skills and abilities.
Take the candidates below, for example. Candidate A has been working as a business analyst for 15 years straight, taking on greater responsibilities as she moves from one employer to the next. Candidate B has a more checkered career path, starting her career as a freelancer, shifting to part-time work, then deciding to go back to freelancing.
We’ve put the skills the candidates have in common in bold to stress their similarities

Business Analyst Resume FAQ.
How do I write a resume for a business analyst?
Writing a solid business analyst resume can help you land your next job, so understanding the key strategies for a standout resume is crucial. Here are a few tips for you to consider as you start writing:
- List your contact info correctly. You want to ensure the hiring manager can get in touch with you.
- Create a captivating career summary. Catch the recruiter’s eye quickly by stating in two to three sentences your expertise and skills (ensuring to use power words and active verbs) in your opening summary.
- Add quantifiable metrics to your work history. Employers want more than skills — they want results. Show you made an impact in previous companies by adding numbers to your work history section.
- Include both hard skills and soft skills in the skills section. Most jobs require technical skills and social abilities, so ensure you cover both types of skills fully.
- Add professional certifications. Create an area for certificates if you’ve been certified for any of your skills.
- Read the job description closely. Finally, go back to the job description to ensure you didn’t overlook any relevant skills. It’s encouraged to borrow exact language from the job listing as long as it describes your experience and skills truthfully.
