Role-specific CV playbook
A business analyst CV should show how you understood a need, captured requirements, and supported a team through a change.
Important: These examples are teaching patterns, not a real candidate's employment history. Replace brackets with accurate details. Never add a credential, tool, result, or metric you cannot verify.
These are prompts for comparison, not a list to paste blindly. Only include a skill when your experience supports it.
Business analyst with experience supporting [business process or product] through [requirements, process, or data work]. Collaborated with [teams] using [verified tools or methods].
Fill each bracket with your real background. Remove any phrase that does not describe you.
Too vague: Gathered requirements.
More specific: Documented [process or feature] requirements through [interviews, workshops, or review] and clarified acceptance criteria with [team].
Use responsibly: Use only research activities you actually performed.
Too vague: Improved processes.
More specific: Mapped [current process] and recorded [specific handoff or issue] for review with [owner].
Use responsibly: Do not claim savings or cycle-time reductions without evidence.
Too vague: Worked with stakeholders.
