Business Analyst Resume Example
An entry-level business analyst at an insurer, two years out of school, with SQL, UAT and requirements work to show for it.
A fictional resume written by our team. The person, employers and numbers are invented; the tools, licenses and schools are real.
Why it works
- 1
“Business analyst two years out of Ohio State. Write user stories with acceptance criteria that developers build from, query billing and claims data in SQL, and have run UAT for two launches.”
Names the artifacts and the SQL depth an entry-level analyst is screened on, instead of claiming general analytical skills.
- 2
“Traced a billing dispute to a rounding mismatch between CRM and billing, cutting disputed invoices from 40 to 4 a month”
Follows the chain from problem to cause to fix and ends on a number someone in finance would recognize.
- 3
“Wrote 86 user stories with acceptance criteria for a claims intake redesign, with 3 sent back for rework”
Counts the requirements and how few came back, which is evidence a developer could actually build from them.
- 4
“Ran UAT for the claims portal launch, writing 140 test cases and catching 23 defects before go-live”
UAT counts are concrete and easy to verify, which matters most at entry level when the scope is still small.
- 5
“Found 11% of appointment slots unfilled across 9 clinics, and the gap analysis was used to reset schedule templates”
Even an internship bullet ends on what the business changed because of the analysis, not on the analysis itself.
How it scored
We ran this example through the same free roast you can use, three times, and kept the middle result. The roast ranks a resume against a typical applicant pile and grades hard: even a resume with a number in nearly every bullet usually lands in the B range.
Copy the text
Use it as a skeleton, then replace every line with your own work. A copied bullet with someone else's numbers is the fastest way to fail an interview question.
