Ask me the questions nobody puts in the job description.
I get messages every week from people trying to break into business analysis. Some are fresh graduates. A lot are newcomers to Canada with real experience that nobody here will credit. The questions are almost always the same, and the answers are almost never online.
So I answer them. There's nothing to buy and there won't be.
What I'll help with
- Whether this career actually fits you, honestly
- Which certification is worth the money and which one can wait
- How to describe non-Canadian experience so a hiring manager understands it
- Reading a job posting properly and working out what they're really asking for
- What the first ninety days in a BA role look like, so you don't get blindsided
What I won't do
I won't review your resume line by line — there are people who do that for a living and they're better at it. I won't refer you into roles at my employer. And I won't tell you it's easy, because the market right now isn't.
For newcomers specifically
I know the wall you're hitting. Experience that counted everywhere else suddenly counts for nothing, and every posting wants Canadian experience you can't get without a Canadian job. There are ways through it. Some of them are unfair and you should know that going in, but they work.
How to reach me
Email is best. I usually reply within a few days. If I'm slow it's because I have a full-time job, not because I'm ignoring you.
