Interviewing for a new role can be a stressful experience for many of us, but there are things you can do to improve your chances of passing the interview with flying colors.

Rishi and I recently sat down for a mock interview where Rishi talked to us about his experiences and skills. In this interview, I played the role of the hiring manager and asked the types of questions that interviewers would normally ask of a senior business analyst.

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS WE COVERED

  1. Tell us a little about your self.
  2. Can you talk a little about a project where things have not gone so well?
  3. What is your approach for dealing with stakeholders who don’t understand their own business needs well?
  4. How do you deal with a situation when two director level executives disagree on what your project should be delivering?
  5. Can you talk about your experiences working with a development team that has high expectations from their business analysts?
  6. Can you tell me a little about how your programming background factors into your business analysis career?
  7. On a larger project that requires the involvement of a business analysis team, do you see yourself as more of a team member or more of a BA team lead?
  8. Would you be comfortable managing more junior analysts on such a project?
