Become a Business Analyst Volunteer
(T.I.A. Ep. 93). Looking for experience as a business analyst?
No one is willing to hire you without experience?
Look no further than to volunteer as a business analyst at an organization.
This podcast episode explains a few options for volunteering as a BA.
It's all about community involvement.
Be collaborative, be a leader, be a volunteer.
The sky's the limit for business analysts when it comes to being a volunteer.
Be a principal business analyst in any organization, as a volunteer. Industries could include Information Technology, financial, insurance, education, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, clinical, healthcare, etc.
You may not find the title of business analyst volunteer at some organizations. But, there is lots of business analysis work being done at organizations that are looking for volunteers.
Reach out and ask an organization.
I have volunteered in the past, with IIBA Ottawa-Outaouais chapter as VP Professional Development.
I still volunteer occasionally with CRIEC (Calgary Region Immigrant Employment Council) as a mentor for newcomers (BAs and PMs) to the city of Calgary.
Make a difference.
Be a Volunteer, be a BA, be Awesome!
